IS SUMMER FAR BEHIND?
Posted: Sat Mar 14, 2009 10:21 pmHello Old & New friends,
It is so nice to see Stevie & his Bungolow bar Ice Cream truck. Last night a friend reminded me that Spring, is right around the corner. For me, not soon enough. So we were talking about summertime vacation. How I miss hearing Stevie ringing his bell. Most of the time. He didn't have to ring it too much. You could hear the kids around the corner on Taylor Ave, calling up to their mothers. So you knew, in a few minutes, Stevie, was on his way.
So dearest Webmaster, thank you for changing the front page. It's so nice to see someone , that will always bring a smile. Not just to my face, but many others. Sorry to say. These days, my kids & others, don't know the person selling ice cream, from any truck. We have a regular truck by Wilkinson Park. I have purchased ice cream, soda & other stuff from the same lady, for years. I asked my neighbors who are regulars there. Especially the handball people. No one knows the lady in the truck's name. My husband & I are on 1st name basis, with our mailman & U.P.S. delivery man. My sons & my neighbor, think this is so weird. Because nobody esle seems to care. When I was a kid on Beach Ave. My mom called the mailman,milkman, bleach guy, Fuller brush man and the guy who use to deliver the soda, by their first names. We had Doc Adler, the Pharmist, around the corner. Sometimes I wonder, if we were nicer to each other back then. Or people today, just don't what it was like to be raised in such a caring neighborhood. Like our Stratton Park.
