If you have ever been to an event in Downtown Durham, you may have noticed small ice cream carts rolling around with smiling lollipop logos and a funny name on it.  The name is Locopops and the company is more genius than loco.  News has been passed around and is being projected on their website that they will be moving into 1908 Hillsborough Street, the old Weatherman’s Jewelers location beside the newly opened Red, Hot and Blue BBQ.  If you’ve never had a Locopop, by summer you may be addicted.  Mexican popsicles and Latin American chocolates in downtown Raleigh this summer?  Culturally refreshing treats.

    Thats great news…. however, unfortunately, thats a pretty bad location… not good for longevity.

    ^Let’s hope their reputation will bring the customers to them, instead of relying on college kids to make it.

    My wife and kids will be over the moon with this news.  I’m psyched, too.  But I’m also a little worried about nearby Planet Smoothie.  Those PBJ numbers are my all time fave meal-in-a-cup, but the place seemed on the downside for a while and is now closed, the sign says, for remodeling.  I hope it’s coming back ... with the PBJ front and center.
