What was name of Alpine ice cream shop/eatery?

Can you help Jim, a reader who e-mailed me?
He’d like an answer to this question: What was the name of the ice cream shop/restaurant that was on Alpine Road in the late 1970’s? It was across from the mall and very popular. It had an old-time/barber shop quartet theme to it. I think it had red and white stripes.

Thank you

Wow! Thanks, Lou, Bren and Greg for your super fast and correct responses. And Greg, I didn’t know that there was The Last Straw at North Towne.
I’ll tell “Jim” to link to this blog for your correct answers, now that you’ve reminded me that it was The Last Straw.
To ALL: If you have questions, obviously this Ask Geo blog is a way to get ‘em.
So post away with your questions for readers or me to try to answer.

Thanks for having a blog like this.

I never visited Last Straw, but I sure miss Bogarts.
It had a short life but it was a great place to eat.
