Icees and the Barbie aisle

Getting a Coca-Cola or Blue Raspberry Icee to enjoy while going around Kmart and other department stores and five-and-dimes — and always making sure to hit the Barbie aisle — is still one of my happiest childhood memories.

Decades later, I still make sure to look at the Barbies at whatever store I’m in, time permitting.

So that’s how this joint got its name.

Why don’t you grab a virtual Icee and take a stroll down the Aisle?
