Indigo Girls have been so good for so long--they were formed in 1983--it's easy to yawn when they come out with yet another solid album. It's sort of like Michael Jordan scoring 30 points: unless he scores 50, is it really news? Still, Indigo Girls' pleasant new album, the Shaming of the Sun (Epic), represents a noteworthy step in the evolution of the pair, singer/songwriter/guitarists Amy Ray and Emily Saliers.

The staff is pleasant, but some staffers are more customer service oriented than others; one woman had me bag my own purchase. That only happened once, though, and certainly does not detract from the fare. Their hot fudge is drool worthy. The frozen yogurt selection is definitely less extensive than Scoops and Beans'. However, cookies and cream is incredible and superior to Scoops'. Thinking about Herrell's cookies and cream motivates me to bundle up on a chilly night and proceed with my custom...
