Giant Ice Cream Churn

This Old Town plaza is a great place to hangout on a weekend afternoon. Restaurants and a winery occupy the container complex, and of course there is the really cool ice cream shop shaped like a giant-size old-fashioned hand-cranked ice cream machine right in the center of the plaza.
