I was on the 5th Avenue bus today and couldn't help but notice that all the soft ice cream trucks above 23rd Street save one were off-brands. Why would there be only one Mister Softee truck in midtown or on the upper east side? Have I missed an important plot point? Please fill me in, thanks.

I know there was some kind of thing (lawsuit maybe?) in the past few years because some trucks were claiming to be Mister Softee when they weren't. Perhaps someone finally enforced their trademark. Other than that, I do not know. Fri Jul 24 06:18:10 -0700 2009 4886124 104084 LNG212
