I worked there for about a year, and I think that was in '59 & '60. Was the manager's name Sid then ?? It's been such a long time some of the memories are a little vague when it comes to details, but I do have fond memories of the "hanging out" and the special treat night when my parents took my brother, sister and I there for a burger or a sundae. I now live a little south of you in the Sarasota-Bradenton area. Thanks for the memories.

I worked there for about a year, and I think that was in ’59 & ’60. Was the manager’s name Sid then ?? It’s been such a long time some of the memories are a little vague when it comes to details, but I do have fond memories of the “hanging out” and the special treat night when my parents took my brother, sister and I there for a burger or a sundae.

Thanks for the memories.

When in high school I used to drive our refrigerated truck from our ice cream plant in Utica to deliver ice cream to the James St store along with stores on Grant St., Erie Blvd, S Geddes Blvd, S Salina St and Westwood. I now live in Hudson, Fl and many fond memories or our family business. I am the son of the founder of Wittig’s Ice Cream.
