Talk traffic, eat ice cream
Thursday, July 20, 2017 by Elizabeth Pagano
If you love ice cream and complaining about traffic, does the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority ever have the event for you. On Wednesday, July 26, the transportation authority will host “Traffic Jam! A la Mode,” which is a discussion with some national experts about different transportation modes, with free ice cream. The event will take place from 5:30 to 8 p.m., at Huston-Tillotson University’s King-Seabrook Chapel at Huston-Tillotson University Davage-Durden Student Union. (More details are available on Facebook.) As a side note, we’d like to talk about the name of this thing. It’s kind of a pun, right? (because of the two different modes.) But do people eat ice cream and jam together? Is that a thing? Please @ us.
