Growing up in Staten Island, NY during the early 70’s was a blast. It seemed that EVERY Ice Cream man and the like came around. I guess they felt safe in that strange little place. They must have sat down together and devised a schedule. It was a different truck about every half hour from Noon until around dusk. That is when the mosquitos became just to bad. Mister Softee, Freezer Fresh, The Whip ride, Ralph the italian ice guy, Kustard King, the knife shaprening guy, Good Humor (NO RIDERS), K & N treats (He had sno-cones with a gum ball in the bottom), Spiderman ride(V shaped. The very top was the best place to ride), and Mister Softee again.
