Water Ice & Pop

A few years ago my buddy Tom and I went to The Philadelphia Folk Festival where we saw icons of the folk movement like Tom Paxton, Tom Rush, Janis Ian and Utah Phillips.  My hero, Roy Book Binder was also there where I took in a great workshop.  I wrote about it HERE .

One night as we were standing in line to see a show a woman asked me if they sold Water Ice?  I asked her if she meant ice water but she said, "No, water ice."  I had never heard of it and found out it is a local delicacy.  Here is a place that sells it.

I've noticed that pop is called different things around the country.  When I was in Kentucky they called all pop Coke?  Then I found this site that explains it all. This kind of stuff fascinates me.
