Spring means warm weather (Well, usually. You are in Missouri after all...), and with that warm weather comes tasty frozen treats. Sure, we all know about Ted Drewe's, but many St. Louisans are turning elsewhere to treat their taste-buds, too; Murray's Shaved Ice Shack.

From Fuzzy Navel to Banana Split, the shack has all your favorite classics. Murray's also features some not-so-common flavors like Bird Poop, Blushing Bride, Hannah Montana, Ninja Turtle and Green Goblin. Those exclusive custom-blended flavors are just part of the reason a trip to the shack is so special. St. Louisans have been heading to 3407 Watson Road for their shaved-ice fixes since 1953, and current owner Rich Murray has been heading up the operation since 1997. Needless to say, it's become a landmark in the St. Louis Hills neighborhood.

They're opening for the 2009 season this Saturday (April 4), and to celebrate the beginning of a sweet season, they're offering two shaved ices for the price of one (!) from 2 p.m. until 9 p.m. that day.

The shaved-ice shack is located on Watson Road, close to Hampton. And if you like this summery staple, Murray's often serves out their shaved ice in mass quantities at parties. Head here for more info about their shaved ice trucks.
