In the end, ordinance facts prevailed over business owners' emotions regarding an ice cream sandwich parlor opening in Nisswa just for the summer months.

On a 4-1 vote, the Nisswa City Council on Wednesday, Jan. 18, overturned the planning commission's denial of an interim use permit for Mama Meg's Parlour Ice Cream Sandwiches to operate from Memorial Day to Labor Day in a temporary structure in the vacant area between Appaloosa Ridge and the Chocolate Ox on Main Street.
