Pretend It's Fall and Eat a Pumpkin-Flavored Popsicle

It doesn't exactly feel like fall in Dallas just yet, but you wouldn't know it by the number of pumpkin spice lattes being sold. In case clutching a steaming hot mug of artificial gourd-infused coffee doesn't appeal when it's still 90 degrees outside, perpetually packed Lower Greenville frozen treat shop Steel City Pops is presenting some welcome alternatives: New seasonal flavors of their $3 housemade popsicles include "creamy" versions in not only pumpkin, but also carrot cake, butter pecan, sweet potato pecan, and maple bacon bourbon; if you prefer the more icy "fruity" varieties, autumnal options include cranberry orange, cinnamon apple, and poached pear.
