Isaly’s- what a great place for the family !

Isaly’s- what a great place for the family !There were 2 Isaly’s location in my hometown of Homestead, PA. When my dad got paid, we would walk to one of the 2 Isaly’s stores for a special treat. Sometimes it would be a skyscraper cone, sometimes a 25 cent milkshake or a Klondike. Once in a while we would eat lunch at one of the tables- I always got a chipped ham barbecue- still love to make my own at home these days. Prices were so cheap that one day we went to Isaly’s and the price of coffee had gone from five cents to seven cents- we were not wealthy. I can still hear my mother exclaiming- ” Seven cents for a lousy cup of coffee” !(The lousy of course certainly did not refer to their really good coffee.) But she continued to enjoy her favorite brew there..loved it.
