I kept trying to remember the name of that wonderful old fashioned shop. I kept thinking 'Roy' {was it that simple a name?
}, then forgot about it till I read this post of yours, Greg. So I went and searched it out.
Went to the Town website:
www.townofcarrizozo.org checked the chamber members- he's not listed with them, {as not all businesses become members}. Then checked for Ice cream in Zozo, and it came up
'Roy's Ice Cream Parlour'
I was thinking it was Soda Fountain or Drug store, but there you go.
When we were there a couple years ago he said if memory serves me, he'd move away and swore he'd come back and open it back up, as it used to be- an old fashioned ice cream shop and 'drug' store, like some of us remember
He made Cokes the old fashioned way, from the syrup and soda water
Mmmmm love those ice COLD 'original' cherry cokes!
At that time he had a website he mentioned and I looked for it online last nite, but could not find it now. But the shop is still listed at: 1200 E Ave. Carrizozo, NM
It's also a small gift shop. I remember from back those couple of years ago, he had some nice-quality laser cut crystal & glass designs on site, you could order, like in the shop, etc.
I remember too, it was so hot/dry in a August when we were in the area, That shop and the Ice Cream were Fantastic and sitting there, eating a banana split, hit the spot!
The town website {posted above} has a 'plea' on it; for anyone interested in opening a *Grocery store* to contact them
{they also mention a coffee shop too, but noticed there was one or two in town already, under the members/businesses listings.}
Tia Dalma- back, after holiday, company, travel, weather and a Barn party!
