The Triumphant Return of Wooder Ice

3ICEs.gifThis Phillyist lives a block and a half from the downtown Rita's (you know, the one that actually has indoor seating), and even though we don't go there very often, it saddened us to see them close up shop for the winter, complete with window sign reading "We'll miss you!" We would walk by every day, thinking of just how sad and lonely it looked in there. But yesterday, we were happy to see that the sign had been taken down, and a new one was in its place, telling all passers-by that Rita's would re-open Thursday (as in, tomorrow). We assume that the rest of the Rita's locations in the area will be opening tomorrow as well.

Nevermind that it's snowing today, or that it appears that our overnight low will be a chilly eighteen. Tomorrow, we're gettin' Water Ice!

are you referring to the "downtown" location as the Spruce st location? I also visit that one. yeah, rita's

silly silly,
you missed almost all of the philadelphia rita's locations and you made light of the way we say water. this is how we talk. this is who we are. there is no need to exagerate it with an overdone phonetic spelling. still, you'll never get it right... please show some respect.

Wow, there's a lot of Rita's around here! Thanks, a.
