Bye bye, Squirrel Brothers
You know the economy's in bad shape when an ice-cream parlor in Salt Lake City - where a banana split is one of the few allowable vices - can't stay open.

Squirrel Brothers, at 605 E. 400 South, has announced on its marquee sign that it is closing - and nobody was answering the phone during business hours this weekend.

Squirrel Brothers had taken over the old Snelgrove Ice Cream location, marked by the distinctive double-cone sign (catty-corner from the rival Baskin-Robbins), a few years ago - and it was one of the last places where you could get a cone made with Snelgrove Ice Cream. But the Snelgrove plant's new owners announced in February that the Snelgrove brand was being phased out.
