Was very fun today. Heard the theme song from the "Sting" and ringing bells. Had to go see what the noise was all about.
This young man invested in a 1964 Dodge truck and is out bringing back fond memories. Not big on ice cream but bought some anyway.
Pics ASAP.

We have "snow-cone" trucks here in Central PA.  Sometimes we get two in the neighborhood at the same time in the summer.  Waiting for a rumble.   laugh

Don't have too many of those in these parts.

I'm amazed there are still any running routes. Ice cream is so expensive these days, it might be cheaper to buy the truck and forget the ice cream.  darn

We got one that comes through my neighborhood. He looks like a perverted old man. Every time he goes by he has this "Ice cream little girl" look on his face. It's creepy......

I still have one that comes around every so often...
Never know when she's coming, but she does appear out of the blue...

On that note, came across this article recently about the classic ice cream truck song most of us probably remember...not exactly the lyrics you'd expect!

Every so often we have one roll through the neighborhood. Now I kind of want a fat fat frog

We have one the almost comes daily in the summer time.  We live at the end of a Cul due Sac.  Lots of kids, so he must pay for his route just on my block alone...   biggrin

Quite a few of them. All the time. They come up the streets, cruise through the parking lots at baseball and soccer fields, and by the pools.
