The year was, if I remember correctly, 1990. At that time I was special correspondent of semi-left Patriot daily and Link newsweekly in Moscow. Mikhail Gorbachev's parestroika and glasnost were on an upswing, though keen observers seemed to notice cracks beginning to appear in the powerdom under him.
A few days back, after taking a round of beautiful hills surrounding Salt Lake City (SLC), we drove down to a popular, somewhat fashionable spot -- Harvey Milk Blvd -- not very far from the Down Town. We visited a few shops, where mainly souvenirs were being sold, and also a few sex toys! Finally, we visited an ice cream parlour, where we tasted Italian ice cream. It is a well decorated parlour, with different coloured lovely goodies hanging across the restaurant. I took a lemon flavoured ice cream -- really liked it. The parlour is called Dolcetti Gelato.
