Ro-Bears SnowBalls Is Closed for the 2019 Summer Season | Eater New Orleans

"Closed for the 2019 season, I learned that Harahan’s Ro-Bears Snowballs and Soft Serve is a 54-year-old, family-run institution started by Shirley Roberts in 1965 while she was a mother of six; it's known best for its extra-rich syrup and condensed milk drizzle (and especially the chocolate flavor), and it also serves ice cream and excellent hot tamales as is often the tradition at sno-ball stands. Her daughter Janice now runs the day-to-day operations, and a sign outside the stand said it would be closed for the 2019 season though there's no indication the closure will extend beyond this season." - Clair Lorell
