T-Good’s Shaved Ice

This is by far the best sonw cone in the world as the Thurgood family claims on their website. The secret is in the ice! It is so soft and fluffy. Not hard and crunchy like the other ones in town.
The staff is great. very friendly. My son and I go there almost every day of the week! The flavors are great. I love the mango. I tried the cherry coke with cream on top the other day. WOOHOOO!

we can get a snow cone.

This week I am making a concentrated effort to sample the mobile food stands I see around town due to their nationwide resurgence in popularity. In a struggling economy good food for little money is a notion we can all get used to. I even think that a revitalization of the barren Broadway strip from downtown to the Pearl Brewery might include, among other things, a block of mobile specialty lunch wagons like the ones they have along SOCO in Austin. Mix in some galleries, boutiques, hotels, restaurants, playhouse, trolley line, etc and we may bring that part of town back to life.
Get me a city planner!
Enough about my lofty ambitions let’s talk shaved ice. The Sno Shack sits outside the HEB Plus on Potranco just south of 1604 and prepares good ol’ fashioned raspas. Plenty of flavor combinations to choose from poured over freshly shaved ice ready to melt upon the tongue. True it may be nothing more than a snow cone but who among us can deny the nostalgia factor of the raspa truck outside the public swimming pool refreshing our sore muscles with a suicide cone and Chinese candy. You ‘member.
