Correction: The original story contained a subheadline that implied that the article was about places to get free ice cream on National Ice Cream Day. We checked it out, but none of the ice cream shops in Middletown were giving out free ice cream, and we listed all the places to buy ice cream. However, the subheadline was inadvertently left on the story with the word "free" in it. We regret the error.
