Seems fine to me. If people like it why be a curmudgeon about it?

The old company made a mistake by not rebuilding, there was demand for ice cream at that location and somebody met that demand. Now people can eat ice cream under an old timey sign like they want to, good for them.

Why shouldn’t we judge people for dumbass consumer behavior/ interests?

Disney Adults are fucking weird and I’m not ashamed about saying it.

Something to be said for branding.

There's a pizza place by me called "slice of the 80's" that has tacky vaguely 80-s feeling styling.

Surprisingly its been around for over 15 years and not the flash in a pan pizza shop that tends to come and go. Heck, I dont even think its very good, yet it has survived.

that last sentence. it's been 15 years and you don't have a story about either how the owner suck that one time you went or there're awesome and you can't stop going there, but hey, you've seen their sign. I've never been there either but shit dawg
