It's always been my favorite...

I didn't grow up in the hood with soft serve, but we had 10 cent scoops of Thrifty ice cream!!!

When Thrifties 1st opened up in our neighborhood in 1967 there scoops were 5 cents single, 10 cents double and 15 cents for the triple. Those were the hood prices. In my teen years I had a girl friend that worked at Thrifties in the ice cream dept. (hand dip) she hated that job...

Whoa.......I'm pretty old and even I don't remember it being that cheap

I grew up in the Norwalk Hood. The ice cream trucks that served soft serve in our hood were Dipsy Doodle Ice Cream. Yep 10 cents forever, then they started raising the prices.

Side Note: When cruising Whittier Blvd. in Whittier we always told the girls we lived in Downey. You would never see them again if you told them you lived in Norwalk...

We use to cruise Whittier all the time in my buddys 66 Chevelle.

Most of the American made car dealers across the country are gone now. Honda, Kia and Hyundai rule now. And that's pretty fucking sad.

[QUOTE=CampbellCarl;68756]Ok, so what years are we talking about here....... We're talking late 70's to mid 80's. I actually met my wife for the 1st time at Whittier Blvd. in the late 70's. I later met her again at a friends barbecue about 8 years later but this time I didn't let her get away. Ironically my parents had a similar situation but the time span the 2nd time they met was 5 years.
