Then, on the right is a car wash and gas station, on the LEFT is Annie's Ice Cream and then St. Luke's Emergency Care.
ICE CREAM: Closest is Scoops...turn left on 903 and it is about a mile on the right side across from the JTNB bank. You can get there via golf cart, but we park at the bank and cross by foot, since it is not road worthy.
Bella Mia has ice cream year around (see "best pizza" below). Annie's Ice Cream: Turn right onto 903 and follow 903 until you go past the Jim Thorpe monument. Annie's is on your left (see above for specifics).

THE TOWN OF JIM THORPE:
Turn right onto 903. Take 903 until it looks like it is going to end, bearing left at the arrow. Follow road around to the left and then right then over the bridge at the railway. Make a left at the wall of rock traffic light. This is Jim Thorpe.
The Scenic Train Ride, the Asa Packer Mansion, the Jail, and all the little shops along the way are why JT is well known. Parking is hard but worth it.
