damn full tilt, why you gotta give the south end so much love? The U-District will gladly take you in. If you guys moved in next to Cafe Racer I'd say that block would be the best in town.
Oh man, I start a lease in Columbia City in July. I get Lightrail, icecream, pinball, and a real neighborhood. Columbia City is going to explode even more than it has in the last 10 years.

@5 Yeah, it's less a war and more a party, actually. It seems all stores are thriving since Full Tilt, Molly Moon's, and Old School Frozen Custard have just (or will be soon) opening a 2nd location.
They say sweets are recession proof, and with all the ice cream booming, and a couple more cupcake shops to boot (Cupcake Royale's coming to the hill, Yellow Leaf opened in Belltown), I think that this is proof.
Ice cream party!

At the end of the ice cream war, there will be corpses with sticky hands. Surplus waffle cones will be had for cheap on the black market. Children will be digging up chocolate sprinkles and tiny sample tasting spoons for decades to come.
You will cry every time you think of ice cream. You will try to make "You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream" jokes, but it will be too soon.
All will rue the ice cream wars!
Good to hear an ice cream store is opening. Old School custard is tasty but it only comes in like 3 or 4 flavors. Molly Moons is somewhat tasty but again doesn't have many different, innovative flavors and is too expensive.
If Full Tilt is REALLY an ice cream shop - they'll win, easily.
The closest Seattle came to an ice cream shop was the Mix on the Ave - but like Cold Stone, it wasn't really ice cream. Fer f's sake, I go to Baskin Robbins sometimes because they're the only ice cream shop that has a variety of flavors, you know - like an ice cream shop is supposed to!
Full Tilt - bring it!

There's always Husky in West Seattle - Full Tilt is truly great but Husky has been and continues to be a real ice cream store (among it's many other qualities and talents) - 75 years and still going strong with new flavors like their recent addition: Nutella (huh? I don't even like the nutella butter but the ice cream seems to be drawing a lot of fans).
