Hi all! So long since the last blog post, but finally I am back, this time at a new commercial venture in the Gordon Square Arts District, Sweet Moses Soda Fountain!
Today is the grand opening of the shop, and I definitely had to be there! Named affectionately after Moses Cleaveland, the namesake of our fair city, Sweet Moses has an authentic old fashioned soda fountain, homemade everything, and is just too kewl to be real!
Here is my friend Sean at the register ordering. In case anyone is wondering, he got a root beer float, and I got a chocolate malt, my favorite. It was *so* good.
And here is the display case of all their homemade chocolate barks. They also do homemade candies, brownies, and ice cream!
If I had been born a few decades earlier, soda fountains would likely have been my favorite hangouts. As it is, I think this is such a great addition to the Detroit Shoreway neighborhood and the Gordon Square district. It has been amazing to watch that area develop into an urban center for Cleveland. The commercial district has developed a critical mass of shops, restaurants and arts as well as surrounding residential areas that really keep it vibrant. The neighborhood is really one of the bright spots of our changing Cleveland landscape, and Sweet Moses Soda Shop fits right into that mix.
