Sat Sep 12 15:19:11 -0700 2009 13871 Fida 1 5025680 All gone! Sat Sep 12 20:56:45 -0700 2009 5025154 113095 jock 2 5025703 That's too bad. Not that I though the food or dessert was anything special, it was a cool "old school" place with some deep roots. Are there any old fashion ice cream parlors in the Phoenix area now? Sat Sep 12 21:18:25 -0700 2009 5025680 84861 Random987 3 5025712 I think Mary Coyle is still around but I am not really sure. Sat Sep 12 21:25:40 -0700 2009 5025703 113095 jock 4 5025756 Mary Coyle is alive and well on 7th Avenue just north of Missouri in Phoenix. Still good ice cream there. Sat Sep 12 22:04:37 -0700 2009 5025712 10633 Seth Chadwick 4 5025768 I heard that Mary Coyle was for sale, but even if the sale has gone through, Mary Coyle is still pretty much the same as it has been for decades. There's also MacAlpine, on 7th St. between Thomas and McDowell. Sat Sep 12 22:18:44 -0700 2009 5025712 26466 silverbear 1 5025855 That would be sad. It also seems odd. Not that it's packed, but there's always a flow. It's also been there forever. Their rent should be next to nothing, if they didn't already own the place.

Incredibly sad that so many Arizona institutions have been closing over the past few months. Sugar Bowl is a place I figured would always be around. Sun Sep 13 00:39:54 -0700 2009 5025154 24418 crsin 1 5026444 I just called Sugar Bowl and they said it's a false rumor. They're not closing. Sun Sep 13 10:42:09 -0700 2009 5025154 118710 razordogg 2 5026465 That's great to hear, thanks for putting that rumor to rest. Sun Sep 13 10:54:06 -0700 2009 5026444 24418 crsin 3 5027397 The Pink Pony, however, is toast. Sun Sep 13 19:09:41 -0700 2009 5026465 184889 blair_houghton 4 5027634 The Pony was cool in an old school/memorabilia way, but otherwise the food was not very good. It's tough to run a steakhouse type of place when people don't go there to eat. On the flip side. Sugar Bowl is ice cream. Hard to mess that up. You'd have to try and spend a lot of money there. Even if you had no idea what it was, you could walk by and check it out for a few bucks. I've never not seen people mulling about. Sun Sep 13 21:21:33 -0700 2009 5027397 15036 tastyjon
