A guide to cool summer treats with Simons Says Dip This and Locopops

Watermelon ginger lime popsicles. Gojuchang caramel ice cream. Pistachio nut butter-dipped soft serve. You can find it all in Durham at shops like Simons Says Dip This and Locopops. The owners of both shops stop by and bring treats for co-host Leoneda Inge to taste.
