Polly’s Freeze is an icon for southern Indiana, opening in 1952. Just off I-64 at the Georgetown exit, it isn’t a far drive from downtown Louisville, and is definitely worth the short drive! They’re only open about half the year, so my family always takes advantage of beautiful summer weather and makes a couple trips each year. Last year, we […]
