It is now official! The Magic Fountain, the ice cream parlor that didn't seem to sell ice cream at all at 412 Court Street is no more. The storefront was being totally gutted on Monday morning as I walked by.
The Magic Place certainly was not a neighborhood favorite by any means and I doubt that many people will be sorry to see it go. A reader commented:
I walked in there one day a few years back to buy a bottle of water for my 5 year old daughter who was feeling bad because of the heat. The owner(?) just stared at me when I asked to buy a bottle of water. No response, just a hostile stare.I've never tried to force my money on them since, as they are evidently doing just fine without it.Anything that moves in there can only be an improvement.
Just last week, I reported that the laundromat next door at number 410 Court Street was undergoing major renovation. A permit states that the laundromat was being converted into a restaurant.
If the Magic Fountain space will be added to the laundromat space, it will most probably become quite a large eating establishments.
No word yet on what type of restaurant it will become.
What kind of food would you like to see there, dear Readers?
