Mofo circles around Highlandtown after 8pm every night, when it’s 40 outside, and is loud af. What kids are out this late getting ice cream? Is it at least selling weed?
EDIT: Thanks to all the people who are totally defending the ice cream trucks! General consensus is they are more a delicious quirk of Baltimore than minor noise nuisance and I’ll give ‘em a try next time I hear them!
You talking about the orange one, the eastern European one with the kids photos, the red one (raspados), or the tiny push cart?
People like ice cream. I don't think people would go through that much trouble for hiding a weed operation.
The one with the family photo cracks me up everytime. The dad is hypnotizing you with his eyes, the baby son is just happy to be included. The twin little girls are mean muggin' you, staring into your soul.
Mr Tasty is his name. HELLLOOOO!!!
He has 4 trucks btw
When I lived in Highlandtown many years ago, my nextdoor neighbor ran out of the house during the holidays to give the ice cream man a Christmas card. We had 2 different trucks that would drive through and at least one of them was year round.
Who said anything about hiding it? (Probably won’t matter much in a couple weeks)
The truck is out too damn late and the music is too damn loud.
The one in Eldersburg/Sykesville comes to my neighborhood around 9pm. Not a big deal in summer, and he completely stops when it’s winter, but in the fall I just want my kids to go tf to sleep. Super loud music, and we live in the bottom of a cul de sac so it takes him a minute to turn around making the music last longer
That’s the crack cream truck.
He was missing for awhile and came back within the last two months. I can always tell the time when I hear him drive by. His ice cream is tasty. Don't be scared of him.
I hate when it’s nice enough to have the windows open at my house but then an ice cream truck pulls up and spews the worst smelling exhaust fumes everywhere and making tons of noise while camped outside my house. Idk what is up with ice cream trucks that they have to be so noisy and stinky but man are they annoying
Man if you think this is late, Miss Twist used to drive by my house around 10 every night (I wanna say sometimes as late as 11?) when I lived in sobo. Laying in bed about to fall asleep and 5 minutes later I’d have an Oreo shake in my hand. Fwiw, it was mainly adults in line at that hour.
The hub for the trucks is rt under the O’Donnell street bridge. Likely the last go around before shutting down for the day. I use to live in highland town.
Preach. As a mom in SOBO, pissed me off when she sat outside my house with the noise going at 9 PM. My eldest would come running downstairs, even though he knew the answer would be no.
Left to my own devices.... yeah, I'd totally go out and buy ice cream at that hour, even in the cold.
It's not kids getting the ice cream. If it's the tan truck (I'm guessing it's the same guy and he starts on the east side of the neighborhood), he gets to my house in Canton promptly at 8:50-8:55 every night. He's got a soft serve machine in the back and I highly recommend it. The guy had been back home in Egypt for the last few years so he only recently started back up a few months ago. It's a nice $3 treat after dinner.
and too damn repetitive.
There's a rundown-looking blue one that drives around Hampden at late hours. At least once every month or two, somebody starts a thread like this asking if it's legit or just a poorly-disguised front for drug sales, and everybody who's been here a while vouches for it.
It’s good to hear the at least quasi-positive vibes about the night shift ice cream trucks. It’s annoying if you’re trying to sleep and several of my neighbors have little kids, but at least the consensus seems to be it’s delish stuff :)
Good to know. It’s a little annoying, though most of you seem to agree their product is tasty!
I’m not from bmore and spent much of the past 20 years living on bases where military police will quickly have uh, very nice words if you’re noisy after 10 on weeknights, so it’s just a different environment. Thanks for helping me understand what’s going on in my quirky adopted home :)
