		<description><![CDATA[The arrival of the first big heat wave of the season also marks the sight of wave after wave of ice cream trucks winding their way through the city&#8217;s neighborhoods, delivering cones and bars to its overheated citizens. Of course, this comes with the familiar sound of repetitive tinkling music, which can be heard from blocks away. In the summer of 1989, however, the tinkling was almost silenced. Two weeks before City Council&#8217;s summer recess, Councilman Ralph Berks introduced legislation that would prohibit &#8220;the operation of mobile vending vehicles which are outfitted for the playback of recorded music or other audio, between the months of May and October and between the hours of 12pm and 8am, daily. During these hours of operation, they are to play any such music or other audio at the lowest volume possible.&#8221; The measure was obviously directed at the city&#8217;s ice cream truck operators, especially the largest, Ice Cream Motor Novelty and Treat Co., whose garage and distribution facility was located in Berks&#8217; district. Basically, the bill would only allow this and other independent companies to sell ice cream for four hours in the morning (when no reasonable parent would allow their kid to eat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All large cities feature that staple of stand-up comedy, the retail storefront which seems to change hands every few weeks, and our own is no exception. The left-center unit of the Pioneer Square strip mall, currently S.E. Huang&#8217;s Kenpo-Karaterie, was a Spanish-language tax preparation service catering to the South Street area&#8217;s large Ecuadorian population as recently as last November- and, in the summer of 2006, it was a boutique specializing in salsa-related merchandise. Lot 47 in the Galleria at Woldman Heights is particularly infamous in this regard; in the last three years alone, it has been a Wittman&#8217;s, a Sunglass Hut, a Gap for Seniors, a Dobbins Farm Dairy outlet store, and a shop where one could commission tailor-made potato chip varieties. Perhaps more curious, however, is the diametric opposite of this phenomenon: the retail store that has remained exactly the same, regardless of market forces or consumer trends, defying all known rules of shopping for astonishing periods of time. There is no more stubborn an example in the city than that of Gillard&#8217;s Electric Typewriter Service, which has occupied the same spot at 2704 West 31st Avenue since 1911. Located on the ground floor of what was once a [...]]]></description>
