Goodies, Serving Wisconsin-Style Frozen Custard Opens, in Old Town, Alexandria | Eater DC

"A few blocks from Byrd’s ice house, the Freedom House Museum is a National Historic Landmark that once served as the headquarters of the largest domestic slave trading firm in the United States; its proximity carries significance for Byrd, who is Black, and he frames his ownership of the nearby property as a shift from the labor of lifting blocks of ice to the agency of scooping cups of custard and holding property near a site with a difficult history." - Gabe Hiatt
