The Duchess has been around longer then I have lived in Ellicott City, Maryland and was the first place I visited when I moved here. All they serve there is ice cream, milkshakes and sandwiches. The Duchess represents a unique piece of American culture in a simple way that reminds us of how simple things can sometimes be the best. The Duchess recently experienced a great loss when the owner died, but reopened with a new floor and other small renovations. When our neighborhood heard of The Duchess possibly going out of business, all of the children around my age were saddened to hear this. We wanted to make sure the store stayed there so on hot summer days we would still have a place to go and get a real milkshake. The Duchess is important to the people who live near it. There isn’t a place I have been to quite like it which makes it so special.
First of all, I LOVE THE DUCHESS! It is deeeelicious. Even though you probably already know this, you need a picture, a word count, and a hyperlink for this blog. You might also want to elaborate on this sentence, "The Duchess is important to the people who live near it." on why it is so important. Other than that, great choice for a place. There aren't any small sandwich shops around here. :(
ReplyDeleteI love The Duchess also. It seemed to me that you could use 1 or 2 additional paragraphs. Your thesis statement is good.
ReplyDeleteI love places like this!
ReplyDeleteI, too, am trying to write about a local ice cream place. What makes this one so great? How old is it? What does it look like?
Sounds like this is a great place to eat at. You have the right idea for the blog. Just make sure you mention why/how this is important to other people; you could add a quote of someone else who eats there.
