I’m first to post!!
Ahem.
His fountain service has neapolitan ice cream. Two points for his establishment right there.
I miss soda fountains.
I remember hearing once that true Neapolitan ice cream can be made with any three flavors, but we think of it as chocolate/strawberry/vanilla because those were the three most popular flavors in the U.S. when it first became popular here.
I love the Zinnias. Just an odd thing to see in an ad for an ice cream place.
Welcome back, Mr. Lileks.
I lived near Cayucos as a young person but, only drove through once. The name seems to have the same origin as a kayak boat.
The very short phone number are always odd. I was once looking at some vintage local ads and it took me a long time to realize the three digit numbers in the ads were phone numbers.
_@_v – laxatives!
btw… when there’s more than one page of comments why does the link to older comments say ‘newer entries’ and vice versey for the link to newer comments?
The talk about iced treats and Nancy’s comment about Zinnias reminded me of something: anyone else know what a “Zemi” is? We had a machine just outside the gym doors at our High School. I’m getting flashbacks…
Shesnailie, James has been asked that question before, but has never responded to it. Maybe he doesn’t read the comments after all!!??!!
Stone – I remember the Zemi. Last time I had one was probably about 1979. Do you remember there was a “mystery” flavor called Z-7?
Zeppoli aren’t bad, either.
I think that’s the prettiest matchbook yet – well, the back cover.
Brought up the Google street map for Cayucos. Looks like a nice town. Too bad there’s no address for Mr. Pereira’s Motor lodge. Guess they didn’t need one back when the phone was only two digits.
That’s ice cream? I thought it was some blocks of foam rubber!
