With temperatures reaching 106 in the valley this week...Samantha, Blue Blizz Frozen Yogurt employee, makes a Hawaiian Shaved Ice for customer Robert. When we were kids we called them Snow Cones and my favorite place to buy one was Helvetia Park!
Trivia:
In Cuban neighborhoods, they are known as "granizados"
In Puerto Rican neighborhoods, they are named "Piragua"

In the Dominican Republic they are called "frío frío"

Where R they? I remember Helvetia. I think it's owned by the County now?
ReplyDeleteWhere is blue bizz? In my mom's neighborhood (broderick) the guy comes around pushing the cart -- shaved ice for one dollar.
ReplyDeleteI swam at Helvetia too, I think it is owned by the County now -- lots of trailers last time I took a spin through the place
