I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Now that it’s summer time, we wanted to know: Where is the best place to get ice cream--or frozen yogurt--in the area?

That being said, Patch is running the ultimate Readers’ Choice yet. While we’ve done similar contests in the past, this one includes business from Skokie, Niles, Morton Grove and Des Plaines. Our 2012 winner will even receive an award for having the best ice cream in town. On a side note, we’ve also fixed our voting mechanism, meaning people can no longer manipulate the system. To vote, simply login to your Patch account and select the business that you think has the best product. That’s it.

Patch readers nominated all the following businesses and the nomination period is now closed. It’s time to pick a winner, folks.
