When you're passion an ice-cream fix and a side order of reminiscence, Klavon's Ice Cream Parlor in the Strip District hits the spot.
Klavon's hasn't changed much since owner Ray Klavon's grandparents opened their drug store and soda fountain in 1923.
Customers still edge up to stools at the store's original 16-foot marble counter or slip into one of the wooden booths against the wall. The store retains its original art-deco details -- a black-and-ochre strips floor, stained-glass windows and frosty light fixtures.
Look close enough, and you'll see proof of scratch left by the legendary 1936 St. Patrick's Day flood.
