Y'know, you're right.  The atmosphere isn't nearly as good as the old
fashioned Giffords.  On the otherhand, the old fashioned Giffords went
out of business....

The ice cream may not be as good, but it's not bad.  And most importantly,
when the new owners purchased the name, they also purchased the hot fudge
and swiss chocolate recipies (Alpine split.  Yum yum).

I still prefer Giffords to any other ice cream place in suburban Maryland.
