Ice Cream Trucks - A Blast from the Past?

We still have ice cream trucks in my neighborhood in Hamburg and the best is Eis Charlie - Charlie makes his own ice cream and serves up as many scoops as you want - not only that, he remembers your favorites and if you order something you don't normally order he asks you if you are sure.

When I was a kid, the ice cream truck was a big event in the summer...we all ran out with our nickels to buy ice cream sticks or püpsicles...after playing in the sprinklers or playing Lemonade Lemonade or Red Rover in the street, there was nothing better than a popsicle from the ice cream truch.  I buy ice cream from Charlie because it reminds me of my childhood and when I hear his bells, I am compelled to go downstairs and buy a scoop or a cone...two scoops please, stracciatella with whipped cream and chocolate...
