...habit, a watering hole, a local landmark. It's a unifying force, even if that's just because, like a loud uncle, it gives everyone something to complain about. It's the hub that connects many people to their community. "The News was like an old friend. You weren't sure why you spent time with it, but you did, because it was such an old friend," says Charles Eisendrath, who runs the Knight-Wallace Foundation at the University of Michigan.

Carrie Foster, a second-year graduate student at SCI-Arc, L.A.'s avant-garde architectural academy (and a friend of Case's from their undergraduate days at UC Berkeley), is working on the truck several days a week for the summer. In her time on the project, she has come to view Coolhaus less as an ice cream truck and more as an architectural installation. "The truck arrives at a destination, and it creates a whole new atmosphere," she explains. "We'll show up in a parking lot, and that leads to a gathering of people in a parking...
