Yeah!  That's exactly it!  I forgot about the "broken glass"
look.  They had a statue of a polar bear outside of it.  I was
raised in that area back in the late '50's, early '60's.  
I remember the custard place on Rt. 50
because my dad used to own land out in Fairfax when there
wasn't anything out there.  Now, I live out there (Chantilly).
That's great that somebody else remembers "polar bear".
