ice cream truck for

The Red Sox won the World Series last night! Yeah!!I am a Red Sox fan and have been for almost 40 years. Golly has it been that long? It has. And even though I now live in the Pacific Northwest. I will never quite be a Mariners fan the way I have always been a Red Sox fan. In fact and I'm not sure why this is but I don't sense that the entire Pacific Northwest is a Mariners fan the way that New England is a Red Sox fan. Maybe it's partly because the Mariners have not been around since Adam and Eve and maybe it's because they don't have a Fenway Park. Maybe it's because too many people here come from other places in the US and carry with them their allegiance to their old team or maybe it's because the Mariners never traded Babe Ruth. I hear no one lamenting a game or talking about yesterday's game or things like that at least on Whidbey Island. Maybe it's different in Seattle. Is it? Or people arranging their lives so they catch all of the games on TV. I know people enjoy going to a few games every year but it doesn't feel the same as it did when I lived in New England. I feel a lot of energy directed toward U-Dub's football games so I'm sure there are people around here who enjoy sports. I think this is an interesting problem and I'm going to see which Presidential Candidate agrees and will promise to investigate. I "watched" the games on Yahoo Sports which gives you all of the neat information like the strike count batting averages and so on--all of those numbers that baseball fans adore. There is also a little diagram of a baseball diamond complete with all of the names of the players by their positions and little yellow diamonds that represent any base runners. I have suffered with the Red Sox as all New Englanders have. I watched Game 6 of the 1974 series when Carlton Fisk hit that home run and "willed" it to stay fair as he was jumping in the air and waving his arms. And then lost Game 7. I can remember seeing the ball go under Bill Buckner's glove as vividly as when it happened in 1986. About that time. Mike Royko developed his theory about the World Series. Do you remember it? It was called the "Ex-Cubs Factor." The Ex-Cubs Factor meant that whichever team had the fewest ex-Chicago Cubs would win the World Series. I wonder how well his theory has stood the test of time. I miss Mike Royko. Time out on the field: I decided to check the rosters of both teams. The Red Sox have NO ex-Cubs. The Rockies have one: LaTroy Hawkins. 1 divided by 0 is infinity. According to the Ex-Cubs Factor theory this series was over before it started. No wonder it was a blowout. There was actually one sports writer who picked the Rockies. I wonder if he still has his job this morning. He'll hear about this for a long time. Time back in:I became a Red Sox fan between my sophomore and junior years of college. I got a fantastic summer job being an ice cream man on Cape Cod. I worked there two summers. I have nothing but fond memories of this time. The days were long and I didn't take many off (two to be specific--we needed the money). I worked on commission which was not a new experience for me actually because as a child I made money by selling Wallace Brown greeting cards door to door. Now that I think about it this may have been my first psychology-related job. I am embarrassed to admit this but since part of the reason for this blog is to write a history for my children to have and also in case I get famous some day and am too busy to write it. I will include this information for the sake of completeness. This was my strategy as a Wallace Brown Independent Contractor. I would knock on the door and when a woman answered it ask to speak to her mother. Now looking back. I can't imagine why this worked as well as it did although if you saw pictures of me when I was 10. I'm sure I looked too skinny and helpless for anybody to actually believe that it was intentional. They'd go. "Why thank you!" Nobody saw through it. Wasn't I a charmer?So I carried that same ruthless manipulative cold-blooded shark attitude into my ice cream selling. I was the top selling ice cream man ever at that company--they still talked about me years after I left. I'm not kidding about this but now that I think about it maybe they were just being nice to my father-in-law. I'll bet that's it. So if you will imagine me feverishly peddling a bicycle with a little ice box in front of me ringing a bell on my handlebars all over Dennisport Massachusetts in the hot summer sun so I can live my dream and attend college. It gives you an impression of me telling you something about my strength drive and character. Are you saying to yourself: "this is someone I want to get to know. What a man he must be."Now imagine me in a van the size of a milk truck with a window on the side that slid open and rows of freezers behind me. It loses something doesn't it? Sorry. I had a "business plan." First all of the ice cream men were ice cream boys no women no girls. And late adolescent boys have one thing in common (actually many but this one is the most salient one): we are slobs. So I thought. "ah hah!" I first of all had to appeal to parents. And what could appeal to mothers more than a clean and tidy ice cream truck. So I always did this. And many people would stick their heads through the open selling window and exclaim: "I've never seen such a clean ice cream truck." I was in like flynn. Now what else? I was reliable and predictable. I had a large route and you could set your clock by me. This was done for a number of reasons but one important one is that I wasn't selling any ice cream by waiting for kids to get their money. So the families always knew to be ready for me at a certain time and I'd be there. This had a secondary benefit: Sometimes other trucks from other companies would attempt "hostile takeovers" of my territory. But they would come at the wrong time. So people wouldn't be ready for them and so they'd only last a few days trying to compete with me on my route (it was sort of like the Rockies thinking they could beat the Red Sox even though they had an ex-Cub on their roster.). People don't realize how much natural talent is needed to be an ice cream man. It's because we make it look so easy. But actually only certain personality types are cut out for it. One big thing is that just like Jonathan Papelbon (star relief pitcher for the Red Sox) you've got to be cool under pressure. When there is another ice cream truck on the street next to you theoretically stealing YOUR customers what would ordinary people do? Right! They'd drive fast in order to get to the streets before the competition. WRONG. Keep your cool be in the same place at the same time. If you go too fast the children can't keep up with you. Plus one of the reasons for being predictable is that you get to give the children what they want. What they want is a "relationship" with their ice cream man. They can get cheaper (and better) ice cream at the corner store. They want to have fun getting their ice cream and their parents understandably want their children to have fun. That's what the whole thing was really about--not the ice cream. So when you are predictable then when you stop for a sale you can interact with the children have fun with them and their parents and they get an experience that's worth the money they spend. When you go too fast you are spoiling the experience for them. To illustrate one day I got to go into the Kennedy compound in Hyannisport. Through the gate the whole bit. A bunch of children standing around the truck. A woman came out and bought boxes of different kinds of ice creams. The children said nothing. I interacted with them not at all and yet they had a bountiful harvest of ice cream. But they missed the fun. I wasn't an ice cream man. I was a portable corner market. Sometimes on rainy days when I couldn't go to the beaches to sell. I'd drive around and see if there were kids playing basketball or baseball and park my truck and play. Talk about generating loyalty. But I enjoyed this time. I liked kids. I still do. I think this is one of the reasons I like working at the Island Coffee House--the kids are really neat individuals. Ok. Back to being an ice cream man. Another strategy I had was that I wouldn't sell any ice cream that was in any way less than perfect--if it was too small or anything like that. I would return it for credit occasionally incurring the wrath of my bosses because I "wasted" too much ice cream. But I always had an answer--check my sales. I did this during the summers of 1968 and 1969. I made more money per month being an ice cream man than I did during my first two years teaching at ISU in 1977 and 1978 which made me wonder at times if I made the right career decision. I have a number of specific memories of those summers. One is the incredible smell of the beef stew Elaine would sometimes make. She worked selling ice cream for a different company but got off before I got done (I usually got done about 10:00 at night after a 13-hour day). She worked as hard as I did doing all of the rest of the things that are necessary for a life including making meals for me when I got home. Boy were they good. Another memory is of the moon landing. I was tooling down a street in July and a man came running out telling me I had to come in the house and watch TV that they were landing on the moon. So I did and got to see the pictures. Wasn't that nice of them?I would get so hungry during the evenings. I had sandwich that I'd eat about 4:00 but imagine driving around the streets of a vacation area with almost everybody barbecuing. The smells would be overpowering. One evening a man came out to my truck with a grin on his face and just quietly handed me a hamburger. Oh was it good. Another memory is of an accident on the highway. It was on my way home so traffic was backed up for a long ways. We had been instructed if this happened to pull off the road turn on our lights and we'd make a ton of sales from people who had to sit and wait for maybe a couple of hours for the accident to be cleared. I'm sitting there and someone knocks on my window. I opened it and sold them an ice cream. But I didn't turn on the lights. I got back late that night and when I explained why. I got the lecture about turning on the lights and selling. I didn't say it but what I wanted to say was "how would you feel if somebody in your family was being taken away in an ambulance and you looked over to the side of the road and saw a line of people buying ice cream?" These were nice people and good people but nobody can think of everything. I certainly can't. A few years later an interstate was built that moved the traffic from Providence to the Cape out of Wareham. Like what happened to Route 66 the interstate destroyed family businesses. It destroyed this one. People talk about this in Langley how different things are than they were 20 years ago when there was only one stop light on the island. I'm a part of the increase in the number of stop lights. I realize that. But we all are. I guess starting with Joseph Whidbey. Oh yes one other strategy I used to sell ice cream: I put pictures of the Red Sox players all over my truck. Reggie Smith. Jim Lonborg. Rico Petrocelli and of course. Yaz (Carl Yastzremski). And I got caught up in their run to the world series that year and became a life-long Red Sox fan. So I'm celebrating the Red Sox victory today. I'm going to treat myself to a chocolate covered ice cream bar. I think. When my family would visit the Cape years later and the ice cream man came by we would run out with our children and buy them ice cream. I had a little sign that I kept in my office at ISU for most or all of my 30 years there. I don't even remember where we got it. It was on a little wooden plaque. It showed the back of a child peering into an ice cream store. Underneath were the words "Buy while thy purse yet swells with youth." The little sign is faded now but I still have it.40 years later. I can still hear the children yelling as they would chase my truck smiling and happy buying while their purses were still swelling with youth: "STOP Ice Cream Man. STOP!!"

From the heyday of devout Marxist followers to the transfer of the United Soviet Socialist Republic. Communism has been relegated to a mere child's race. What it really comes down to is who can hold on to the ideals of communism the longest? Myanmar. China. Vietnam. North Korea. ....... It's akin to a child's playground; eventually one ordain out grow the displace set and monkey bars if they don't change their ways of entertaining themselves. However admittedly change surface children learn to cognise the inadequacies of a 8 year old's playground when they are 15 or 16 years of age. They need to sight other means to address their desires. Out in the bring about right now is China who has found a new toy called uranium. The 20th/21st century's hot potato. They are followed distantly by Vietnam who has realized they have to follow their Chinese cousin's footsteps. They quashed their swing set long ago after they won the war. While it's sad it took them almost 50 years to evaluate out they undergo out grown their playground at least they've realized the benefits of "selling lemonade" on the street command now rather than fighting over the teeter-totter. Now in come dead last its a fling between North Korea and Myanmar. Who knew sliding down the glide would be so much fun for these populate. But I anticipate that's why Kim Jong-Il is always having such a great measure in his destitute country. With the recent crackdowns in Myanmar change surface China has realized the benefits of abandoning the playground with their calls for democracy in Myanmar which leaves one challenge......-Who's gonna win and who's gonna be caught with their pants down?Beijing wants more democratic reform in Myanmar The call came as a U. N human rights investigator wrapped up a move to the country that he said had helped him to cause that at least 15 populate died during the junta's crackdown on pro-democracy protests in September. China's Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi also expressed give for U. N attempts to reconcile the regime and the suppressed democracy movement during a two-day meeting with the junta that ended Friday. The state-controlled New Light of Myanmar newspaper reported the meeting only after Wang had left the country. China a communist country whose own preserve on democratic reforms and human rights has been criticized is one of Myanmar's largest trading partners and its main political ally. Beijing does not usually publicly criticize Myanmar's military government a reflection of its lay of strict noninterference in the internal affairs of the country. But in recent weeks it has been credited with working behind the scenes to pressure Myanmar to embrace democratic reforms after the crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations. China also provided important backing for the mission of Ibrahim Gambari the U. N secretary command's special envoy on Myanmar by supporting a Security Council declaration and helping persuade Myanmar to allow him to visit twice. As Wang's tour ended Friday. U. N human rights investigator Paulo Sergio Pinheiro announced that at least 15 people died in Myanmar's biggest city when the military crushed the demonstrations five more than the government had acknowledged. Myanmar's military government has said 10 populate were killed when troops opened blast on crowds of peaceful protesters in late September. Diplomats and dissidents however said the death knell was much higher. Pinheiro said the authorities gave him post-mortem reports on 14 people whose bodies had been sent from Yangon General Hospital to be cremated. He said the 15th known fatality in the crackdown was Japanese journalist Kenji Nagai who was shot dead by security forces. Pinheiro was allowed to meet with several prominent political prisoners at Yangon's infamous Insein Prison during his move. He described the facility which holds about 10,000 prisoners as being "old and overcrowded." The government has said it detained almost 3,000 populate during crackdown and that most of them have been released but many prominent political activists remain in custody.

We spent some measure in New York City last week. Manhattan in August is sticky stinky and surreptiously filthy. And while a shower is often the first thing in object while walking drink a busy midtown street we’ll often be passed by people chowing down on giant ice cream cones rocketpops or other goodies from the jubilant ice cream trucks who go across the city heartily shilling their goods to a society trained to open wallet and then mouths — despite our better judgment — when we comprehend the go of the ice cream truck. Back home in Minneapolis our neighborhood’s ice cream man doesn’t drive the traditional adorn truck with sliding window. Instead he has turned an unmarked conversion van into a rolling cream forge. At first blush a grown man driving a color van slowly around a residential neighborhood trying to attract kids to try his candy doesn’t exactly sound kosher but there’s one thing standing between creepy and crepes: the melodies blaring from a makeshift speaker awkwardly tied atop the luggage pace. It’s the music that draws us to the ice cream man. It’s the music that’s his calling separate. It’s the music that’s programmed into our subconscious to trigger that Pavlovian response. With all that set-up don’t let us forget to introduce you to Michael Hearst. A member of Brooklyn’s book-rock collective. Hearst took some solo measure to investigate with the label of the ice cream man. blends glockenspiel accordion calliope chimes bells and myriad other instruments with a calm songwriting call reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens. Mostly instrumental the sing-song tracks amplify a wide array of style measure signature and inspiration. This album’s appeal is hardly limited to children but we gave it a go around. Our one year-old really loves his CDs so we gave this one a spin. It’s just as popular (not that he really has a choice but not screaming is always a good sign). We ordain say this is a fantastic album but listening through all 13 tracks three times in a row is almost enough to initiate us into a delusional Clockwork Orange killfest.

Pinkberry should copy the ice cream truck business model. It would be humorous to see the Brentwood soccer moms and Bev Hills cougars running down the street for their afternoon fix... When I lived in Koreatown there were always ice cream trucks in the neighborhood. Now I live in Lake Balboa/Van Nuys and even here in my middle-class residential neighborhood they come drink my street daily. We live in Lomita (come Torrance) and the ice cream truck comes by everyday around 6 PM and desire David K said it just makes you grin. Unless the music goes on and on and on and on because the whole neighborhood is there :) I bequeath an ice cream truck that served vanilla and vanilla-chocolate soft serve bitd. Funny thing is I saw the truck in different neighborhoods. Not sure if it was a series of trucks or the same truck. While it wasnt mindblowing the ice cream was tasty and fresh. I've seen them in Santa Monica. West LA. Beverly Hills. Culver City. Norwalk. Hacienda Heights. Hawthorne.. everywhere... Anywhere there is a lay with kids. Anywhere there is a little league field or a soccer tournament. They all sell the same old stuff too. assail pops. Eskimo Pies. Dipped cones. Candy. Soda. Bottled water. Popsicles. SW Gardena by South Park and Furawa Park has 2 trucks that make the rounds. There are also a be of push carts that make their way up the street. Torrance by the civic bear on has trucks (actually I know of one for sure that is still running and its a converted van). This is in the area of Columbia and Delthorne park. Ice cream trucks are everywhere there are TONS in the Montebello East L. A area. Seems there are two ice cream wholesalers here that have big yards to park the trucks in. Unfortunately they ALL sell the same items color bunny. Good Humor soda and chips. I'm thinking of getting into the biz and looking into getting a truck. Does any one bequeath the Bene Bene truck on the west side. It used to do private parties and events only sold Gelato. There's always one in the late mornings/early afternoons on California between 24th and 25th or 26th in Santa Monica next to the park. We undergo one daily in our neighbourhood in Anaheim.. and we had two or three plus the "la cucaracha" truck (that sells produce etc.) when we lived on the NoHo/Van Nuys adjoin. Now if they had an Italian ice truck... I acquire I can go down to Joe's on experience and Chapman for Italian ice but it used to go to ME when I was a kid in New Jersey and later my sister drove the truck. Does the SFV count? Because we get them all the measure here as soon as the weather warms up. In fact the Ice Cream Man was having an affair with my dwell and totally got caught which resulted in a fight in my lie yard - I couldn't make this up if I tried. Also: there is an ice cream truck supply hold on here in Northridge - they carry all the good stuff including <i>real</i> big sticks and assail pops - you can't sight those (bomb pops) in the grocery hold on anymore only sad half-sized immitations. And the beat part? The hold on is so cheap it's almost remove. You've gotta be kidding me -- on my street in Altadena there's a guy who comes by all the time especially on weekends. And in East LA you can't displace a dead cat without hitting an ice cream truck. Maybe your definition of the SGV is different from what I'm thinking of though -- perhaps there's some kind of ordinance in San Gabriel. Monterey lay. Arcadia etc against them. Now that you have in mind it -- our ice cream truck is no more. It used to drive by regularly though it was kind of an ambivalent undergo for the kids to race up to a tinkling truck with graffiti all over it and a gruff Persian thrusting his transfer out the barred up windows to act a dollar and wordlessly deliver a stale confection. We now have the friendly paleta guy strolling by with his transfer cart and bell and the mustachioed feed man with his horn and desire those much exceed. ice cream carts & trucks are still around i live in palms and see them frequently they tend to drive around streets with lots of apt complexes - such as the koreatown area (down wilton/arlington) i noticed the trucks are usually defeat up/rusted and have lost much of their colorful visual appeal. since we are in la - for more charm & appeal there is ice cream truck service called heartschallenger - a specialty truck stocked with international ice cream dulcify and toys and are available for private parties/events i noticed them at a trendy art show in downtown la - it's possible to get some of the old-school ice cream bars but can't guarantee the same items/price as regular ice cream trucks. Come drink to any public lay in East L. A around 4 p m and you are guranteed to hear the music of a ice cream truck. There is one that runs through my neighborhood and for one dollar you can get any ice cream on a bevel whipped cream and a little fudge on top. There is an ice cream truck which comes by in Irvine usually after.

When the ice cream truck first started to make its appearance a few years ago. I was thrilled! A blast from the past announcing it’s pending arrival with carnival sounds. But as more and more of these trucks appeared and as I had children of my own the ice cream truck took on a totally different connotation… pure EVIL. Now when the evil clown music was heard in the distance my kids would run in the house demanding money to buy $5.00 popsicles. I reminded them that we had a freezer beat of ‘remove’ ice cream treats but it just wasn’t the same if they didn’t pay five times as much and buy from a carnie driving a decapitated former A few years ago. I had had enough. My mission was to desensitize the area children to the devilish tunes of the ice cream truck. I went online found some ice cream truck midi music downloaded it and burned it to CD. My eight year old son and I went to my color Geo Tracker convertible took off the top loaded up the music and went on our mission. (We were also pulling a red utility trailer so we looked NOTHING desire an ice cream truck.) As we drove down the city street with our evil jest music blaring the Pavlovian response was amazing! Heads were turning and at one point a kid even started chasing us down the road yelling “ice cream! ice cream!”. It’s difficult to act up with a vehicle going twenty-five mph on foot but that kid was doing a hell of a job. I stepped on the gas and we eventually lost him after a block or two.

I ran into Snerk at the dog park tonight and we got to talking about Bob Herbert 's recent in the T-H about enforcing local noise laws. Mr. Herbert makes some valid points about go boxes and car stereos but lumps ice cream trucks in along with them. CJ and I both kind of like the ice cream trucks though we are a bit tired of "Turkey in the Straw." (CJ has a growing list of classical music that would make for ameliorate ice cream truck tunes.)Snerk is firmly in Mr. Herbert's camp on this one. Snerk feels that the ice cream trucks undergo a contradict force of quality of life that you can hear them from six blocks away and that they're not supposed to keep playing once they've stopped. So. I'm making this the next poll topic. What do you evaluate? I'm open to all reasonably stated opinions. Let me experience.

To echo Chowpatty and several others there is usually an ice cream truck parked in front of the Community bear on at the park at the south end of Silverlake.
