When my little cousin (now 37 yrs old) sent me this article I couldn’t believe it! I used to work at Farrells (1979-1982) Ice Cream Parlour back in the ‘day’. What a place for a kid working his way through college to work at! The memories ALONE of a time in my life that was MUCH simpler with no worries and responsibilities are priceless. My biggest concerns in 1979 were to get that ‘ZOO’ over to table 41 before it melted. The hot fudge cake (wow!), the ‘Green River’ drink, the cheeseburgers and patty melts!
All their food was so, SO good that it was a mystery to me (and very dissappointing) how Farrells ever could’ve just dissappeared. So welcome back and thanks so much, Mr. Bob Farrell, for bringing back a piece of HISTORY! (at least Southern Californians think so!) I look forward to taking MY kids there very soon!
