You're right about everything except the ice cream shop was on Commerce and
Puckets was on 29th. BUT they were both on the south side of the streets they
were on

[Prunepicker]

Si' Senor'... actually it was next door to Van's Automotive. South side of 29th...

WHAT! Wasn't the ice cream shop on 25th (Commerce)? Did I give Gen70 a hard
time for nothing?

What year was that?

[Prunepicker]

I was aware of Gruber. I spent a month there one weekend. I believe it was used
during Viet Nam, too.

That's surprising to here that Will Rogers was a camp. Wow! If Dad had heard
that I may have never been a south sider!

At the bottom of your screen the scroll bar like the scrollbar on the side you scroll down with. Just pull it to the side and you will see it.

64 is right. We stopped in their everytime we drove to Van's. Had the best Ice cream sandwiches. Anyone Remember Dennis Donuts on sw. 29? Dozen for .60 cents.

[USG '60]

Most of us remember when they were 50 cents with home delivery.

Used to sell them door-to-door.....50 cents a dozen, 3/1.00...probably before your time....I sold so many of those things it was ridiculous.

[USG '60]

Hey, '64, I saw in the paper today where Al Waintroob died. I knew him back when he had Waintroob's on Commerce and then I worked for him when he had the Men's Dept at AMC. But I saw today that he had gone into your business and I was wondering if you knew him. He was one of those who had a gruff front but was really very nice. I liked him a lot.
