Isaly’s in Grove City PA in the mid-1960’s
I was a student at Grove City College in Grove City, Pennsylvania in the mid-1960’s. The town had an Isaly’s, and my friend Neil and I would go there regularly for the chipped ham sandwiches and especially the ice cream. As I recall they had a special scoop for their ice cream cones and there was some sort of guarantee that the ice cream wouldn’t fall out of the cone. They also made corned beef sandwiches out of canned corned beef, and because I as a New Jersey native was raised on delicatessen corned beef I savored these as the closest I could get to what I had at home.
