Hello Jackson: Yogurt Square

The popularity of frozen yogurt has really taken off in the past few years. The first time I had it, I was sold! It is much different than ice cream, and with the right topping choices, much healthier because of the probiotics that occur naturally in yogurt. The best part of eating frozen yogurt is choosing from all the fantastic toppings, and today’s featured business, Yogurt Square, has an awesome selection.

Hello Jackson: Surf's Up Shaved Ice

Is there anything better than an ice-cold dessert on a blazing hot summer day? No. No there isn’t. Luckily, Jackson has the perfect locally-owned business to get that hits-the-spot cold treat you need: Surf’s Up Shaved Ice! I grew up eating snow cones that are coarse with larger chunks of ice. I remember the very first time I had the softer shaved ice variety, which has more of a snow texture. I was in Hawaii on the North Shore and went to a local place called Matsumoto.
