Anyone remember Farrell's Ice Cream Parlors?

[LonnieFisher]

I guess I used to go to the original in Portland all the time! What a great memory...

They had the pig's trough and the zoo as the best ice cream treats.

My favorite restaurant of all time. I loved the music played there and listen to The Squirrel Nut Zippers because it reminds me of Farrell's.

Somewhere in the murky depths of my basement costume corner, I still have one of their foam boater hats with the red, white and blue paper band on it.

Looks like there are two locations in SoCal and two in Hawaii. I know where I'm going next time I visit family in L.A.

Yup. There was in Rosemead, Ca that we would frequent and coincidentally enough, it was right next to ToysRUs and Toytown. So it was blast and treat. Ice Cream and Megos and Star Wars figures. Talk about heaven for a 8 year old.

There was one here in Oakland, I think, during the late 70s, early 80s.

Is that the place where you got the Kitchen Sink ice cream??

Kitchen sink is available at Colonial Ice Cram shops in the Chicago-area They give you a bumpre sticker that says "I ate a Colonial kitchen sink"
