Fenton's Creamery (Oakland, CA)

Nathan and I saw The National performing at the Fox Theatre.
Funny juxtaposition of signs at a nearby clothing store.
The real reason we drove all the way to Oakland: ice cream!
Love the photo in the background of the ice cream sundae that's as big as the kid who's eating it.
