Anyone else grow up in the hood where they had actual soft serve trucks driving around?

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...

You're so gross! It's Ice Cream! Keep it clean buddy

Okay, I won't even tell you what 3 scoops got you behind the building.....

I grew up in the Norwalk Hood. The ice cream trucks that served soft serve in our hood were Dipsy Doodle Ice Cream.

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...

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.

Those are pretty common all over New York city.

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.

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

Ok, so what years are we talking about here.......

Sadly, most all of the dealerships along Whittier Blvd are gone....Don Steves Chevrolet, MacAllister Cadillac, Board Ford, Harris Oldsmobile, Whittier Chrysler, Ben Neimi Buick, Jones Chevrolet, Urich Lincoln Mercury.....all gone..

15 cents one scoop, 30 cents two scoop, 45 cents three scoops......we had a Thrifty by our junior high school. I used to throw a single scoop to the girls and then take them behind the building and make out. Two scoops got you a stink finger.

You are so disgusting!!!

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.

I've cream? And you called me disgusting? You're obviously a 3 scoop girl.
