When summer hits, the portable shaved ice booths open. But they move around, and it takes a detective's degree to find them sometimes. Here's what we unearthed. If you know of others, e-mail dneil@wichitaeagle.com.
1. Heavenly Sno: A Heavenly Sno booth is set up near the 29th and Woodlawn Home Depot, facing 29th Street North. There's also one in the parking lot of McKown's Auto Service at Harry and Edgemoor.
2. Flamingo Sno: Festive trailers serving a long list of fruity flavors are set up at Kellogg and Tyler in front of Kay Wiggins and at Pawnee and I-135, in the parking lot of Checkers.
3. Hawaiian Shaved Ice: A tiny tiki-sided trailer is set up near 21st and Oliver in the parking lot of Books-To-Go. A bonus: The hut also hawks nachos and pretzels.
