Portsmouth had at least two businesses with the word "creme" in their name so you know it's a good town. Although this location, which is strategically located across the street from the high school, apparently opened in 1992, Crispie Creme is older than the homonymic donut chain. Here's someone's video of a visit to Crispie Creme. I had an original recipe glazed donut.
The Dari-Creme is open year 'round. A long line formed a few minutes after I took this picture. The above average small vanilla cone cost me ninety cents. Thus fortified, I was off to see the famous Portsmouth murals!
There's another Mrs. Renison's Donuts store in Marysville, that includes the "original recipe since 1929" but doesn't have the "Crispie Creme" on the sign.
I can see I'm going to have to get down to Portsmouth this summer. Ice cream and donuts await!
