Does the icecream truck still come down your street,I remember it from when I was little. Just a little different from this one though.

We had a Dickie Dee man. No truck, just a weird fridge on a bike, and the bike rider rang a bell thingy on the handle bars. Haven't seen one in years.

No ice cream truck. But there's a little place that sells ice cream cones for a buck within walking distance, even better!

I haven't seen an ice cream truck in 30 years.

Seems like they dried up all over

Of course. Every Thursday. That's where I score my best dru.... Uhhhh... Yes. But I only see the ice cream truck occasionally.... And all I buy is ice cream. Only ice cream....

I've got to go to Decatur if I want to see an ice cream truck.

We have Stan the Ice cream man vans just like this one that drive around.

The last time I saw an actual ice-cream truck was some time in the 90s, when it used to stop by the local grade school after school. I still miss the days of the Mister Softee trucks, w/ real soft serve cones. Ahh...memories. Now all I see are the guys w/ the push carts, tooling around the lake w/ the pre-fab ice-cream bars and popsicles. It's just not the same.

Ahh...but those are memories for me...you see...those guys are Paleteros...that's old school Mexican right there...they are everywhere south of the border...as a kid...I got a thrill watching them come to my street...ahh...those are memories for me...and now they have invaded the States...about friggin' time...

But the authentic Paletero cart should mostly have ice pop's made out of real fresh fruit (and some have very exotic ingredients)...some of the ones here in America have those mediocre things you mentioned...you should try the ones in Mexico.


Those guys work hard...they walk basically an entire marathon everyday...and many get robbed...it's a hard low-paid job...

¡Paletas! We have some great ones. Can't get enough of 'em. I made an entire bike route centered around the paleta shop!

they are all over Brooklyn and Staten Island. During that winter time heat wave we had a few months back, they started coming out.
