Good morning, all! I have a long day working on Brent's holiday album before I meet Matthew, my best friend from college, to see TAKING WOODSTOCK at 5:00. I am very much looking forward to it. By the time we have dinner and I get home, it will be rather late, but I will check in during the day.
The was a frozen locker/butcher on Park Street, which was within walking distance of my grandmother's house on Tenth Avenue, that made ice cream and sold it out of two windows facing the street; you could also buy cartons, although we always got cones. I have no idea of the name of the locker but he place was always referred to as "Park Street Ice Cream" and that was my favorite place to go on a hot summer night. My dad loved ice cream so he was always ready to drive everyone there, wait in line for a rather long period of time, and the ice cream was delicious. When that area was overhauled by the City in the 1970s, Park Street Ice Cream vanished and showed up briefly in Trenton, Ohio.
The other ice cream place was on Central Avenue, Elite's, which made their own ice cream and candies; the shop was the place to go after high school in the 1960s. By the 1970s, Elite's had moved to Crawford Street before vanishing as well.
My dad's two favorite flavors were strawberry and black cherry, and they are two of mine as well.
