This is so funny...I am pregnant right now and laid in bed last night talking to my husband about how much I was craving Blue Moon!! I grew up in Brighton Michigan and also share memories of going to Meijers with my mom for grocery shopping trips and having my blue moon ice cream cone for years!! I am missing it so much! I live in Dallas now and haven't seen it in years but can't stop thinking about it right now!! Hopefully this summer when we return to MI for a vacation I'll be able to find some! OMG!!

I insisted on visiting them in 1999 and was not let down after an absence of 20+ years. I intend to be back in 2011. We may have passed each other on the way to the counter at some point. I ran into a childhood frine there on my birthday. Jones not only makes the best Blue Moon Ice Cream in the world, they make the BEST ICE CREAM on the PLANET!

The flavor of blue moon is really not like anything else,and for me just like others it holds magic, childhood memories, but mabey a longing for better times. Over the course of many summers in the late 70s and into the 80s my mother would drag me with her to Meijers to go shopping, (plainfeild ave in grand rapids) my only redemption would be getting some blue moon,and it was not always there. Those summers seemed to fly by. One taste and I am ten,riding my pink schwinn, transister in the basket blairing out shaun cassidey!!! I guess blue moon is just another thing that us michiganders share.

I was just in Ludington, MI and although I indulged in the finest cultivated blueberries to be picked (Michigan's leave New Jersey's in the dust.), I neglected to have my blue moon ice cream. I had it last summer at the House of Flavors in Manistee. With its wonderful oblong metal dishes, low prices, and photos of Old Manistee, House of Flavors in Manistee is a blast from the past. I've since been informed from Michigan friends that Hudsonville Ice Cream makes the best Blue Moon. Who knew? -- I'm originally from Hudsonville. Next summer I will go on a blue moon pilgrimage in Michigan and compare Hudsonville's, House of Flavors;, and Jones's blue moon. It's hard to imagine Kilwins being any good, but I suspect there is a Kilwins is down by the Jersey shore. Maybe I'll give them a chance. I really screwed up!

There's something about Jone's...the milk is local- who knows, it's just terrific. Jone’s is THE BEST Blue Moon,

I grew up in MI and moved to MD-- no Blue Moon to be seen-- but I went to Ludington for vacation and stopped at the Kilwins there to get my fix. Alas, it was not the very same flavor that I remembered (we always had London's ice cream) but it was close enough :) Blue Moon is my favorite!

Had Blue Moon often growing up, usually at the Dixie Highway Store in Downtown Drayton Plains, MI. Thanks for the links, just in Charlotte last weekend, will have to try Kilwins on the next trip...

I stood in a 20 minute line and had a premonition that it was in there, and sure enough...it was!!! I grew up in Waterford, Michigan, and used to ride my Schwinn Scrambler (Banana Peeler) up to Richardson's on Williams Lk. Rd. where I would receive my childhood vice...Blue Moon ice cream. Tasting it again for the very first time was as magical experience as any food could deliver! Thank you, God!
