That's funny. I lived in Norwalk for a year or so when I was around 6 or 7. Actually was there when that earthquake in 1970 or 71 hit.

Maaannnn, we didn't have a truck that came by bcus we were in a rural area BUT...... We had this area dairy called Patke's dairy, strait from the cow to the cream separator to the soft serve machines in their stores... We had locations in every direction we would travel... North, South, East, West... I think they had 5 or 6 locations around us in their prime...

I think I could eat half my weight in ice cream, you would have to bring this up man...

Haha!
I grew up in Azusa and the same went for the girls in Glendora.

I remember my parents taking me to Thrifty's off of Azusa Ave and Gladstone back before it was torn down. It's such a bummer every time I go to Azusa and see all my childhood memories torn down or turned into something else. Kinda funny... my ex gf and next door neighbor (how we met) is a little older than I and she worked at the movie theater in Azusa that my friends and I would sneak into. Small world. She grew up in West Covina.

Those ice cream trucks were the shit. Nothing like sitting on the curb with a banana split on a summer afternoon! My neighbor had full on metal and wood shop at his house and I was the kid with all the skateboard handrails and boxes, so all the kids that skateboarded hung out at my house so the ice cream truck always knew to come by my street lol.
