Nothing Strikes Back Ice Cream Shop

I recall the stairway as being in colours that graduated in radiance. Once entering the room at the top of the stairway, it was all dark, with blacklights...way cool to me in the late 60's.

Nothing Strikes Back!

Submitted by brg404 on Thu, 04/15/2010 - 4:29pm.

I remember going to NSB on the drag back in '73. It was during UT summer orientation, and the RA took all us newbies across the street for an ice cream cone.

The inside was painted totally black, with fluorescent paint splattered on the walls and ceilings. With black-lights being pretty much the only illumination. The tables were Bell telephone spools (again painted black with fluorescent splatter colors).

The Ice Cream was good, but the crawly thing that went over my foot pretty much put me off ever going back.

NSB was closed in '74 or '75.
