ice cream man

What better site to end a movie tour in Savannah than Leopold's on Broughton? Julie, our guide for the Savannah Movie Tour, knew to show off one of Savannah's own as her last stop of the day. A native Savannahian herself, she made sure the folks on the tour truly appreciated what the people of this seaport have offered to the world at large.
Leopold's, located between the two large-screen bookends (the elegant Lucas Theatre and the more spacious Trustees Theatre for the Savannah Film Festival, has been serving ice cream to the movie stars for years now. But it's the owner, Stratton Leopold, who is the main attraction, as he has had a presence in the world of Hollywood for decades. As an executive producer for many films for the past few decades, he lives and breathes star dust. Even now, his latest film, a fine action flick, is gracing the screens of cinemas across the nation.
I had decided on a double scoop, combining an old favorite with a newly created flavor. Yummy butter pecan topped with the Girl Scouts' inspired Savannah Smiles! But first, I had to wait for them to use clean scoops on virgin ice cream, especially for me. You see, I have a deathly allergy to a fairly common foodstuff. But Leopold is mindful that even folks with allergies should be able to enjoy ice cream without risk of anaphylactic shock. So, his staff are trained with the proper response to insure that all comers may enjoy these frosty treats.
How cool is that?
Very!
