Places that are no more - Remember these??

God, I grew up with a local Isaly in my hometown. Mother would send me down to the Isaly's with two quarters to get a pound of chipped ham (25 cents as I recall) , their famous dill pickle, and a loaf of Italian bread for packing sandwiches into my dad's lunch bag. Best ice cream - still remember the pistachio cone piled high in that pyramind shape.

Still lives on, somewhat, in their Klondike bars.

I didn't know. Well, shows you how much of a hermit I've been.

I agree. We grew up in Texas but came to Martins Ferry every summer for 2-3 weeks to visit my grandparents who lived on Carlisle street. Used to get our haircut at Falbos' bought candy at Tidbits, and after every movie would go get an ice cream at Islays!
