Egg Creams & Spring Water

I was just speaking with a friend about delicious egg creams and how wonderful Mountaindale spring water is and it reminded me of this fun summertime 2001 posting from former resident, Harold Meyers


I lived in Mountaindale back in the 70's. I really enjoyed it there. My fondest memories had to be the timesI played basketball at the courts with Raymond and Lamont Larry. We would get there early on the weekends and play all day!! Well into the night. Then after the games I'd go to Rosenthals for a cold soda. Only real Mountaindale residents would know this...does anyone remember the pipe that used to stick out the side of the mountain that used to give the greatest coldest spring water!!! It was the best!! Right down the road outta town toward the Springs!!! I also loved to go to Helens and have a Egg Cream and she made the best Egg on Roll sandwiches!! I even worked with her husband Al waxing Floors at Rhulens in Monticello!! Shepsies Bar was where my Mom worked for a while and I even worked at the fruit store next to Frieds bakery IT was the best of times back then....And yes I remember you too Barbara Schulman and your brother Paul!! See ya!!
