Going to Carvel's was treat time. When we had friends come over my dad or mom would drive us down and we would stand there deciding for 5 minutes and always ended up with the same thing.
Always had the vanilla cone with the hard chocolate topping.  |

I went to the Salty Dog with my girlfriends almost every week-end. I think it was not that far from Whiskey Reds.

on a hot day when you heard the Mr Softie truck coming , you panicked , you dropped your bike in the middle of the street and ran to your mom for change and darted back outside ,hopefully in time, and you caught a glimpse of that beautiful worktruck filled with a little slice of heaven as it glided towards you with the promise of heat relief combined with taste bud nirvana...ah yes, summer on long island on a sweltering day just became not only tolerable, it became the thing memories were made of...!!!
and then the rest of the day your hands would stick to the handle bars on your bike from the soft ice cream that melted on you!!!...lol...

Speaking of nightspots, anyone else remember The Tiger's Tail or Danny's Hideaway? The Hideaway was on Route 106, just south of Hempstead Turnpike. Not sure if that's considered Farmingdale or South Farmingdale.

i remember a grocery store ,it was kinda stark inside, like a costco and it had a ramp made of rollers and your groceries hit a conveyer belt and you'd pick em up off the conveyer belt , i think you could even pull up in your car outside to get em, I think it was a Modells, but I'm not 100% sure, I lived in Uniondale right next to some Catholic High School built on old Mitchell Field and I was about 5 or 6 when they built and opened the Coliseum. Left LI in 76' , i felt so gyped(sp?) , we left right after the Bi-Centennial right before school started in Sept. ,it sucked.
