Mullen’s Dairy Bar & Eatery
Founded 1932
210 W Main
Vanished
c1970
There was a time when the city
had any number of ice cream parlors and among those that come to mind are the
A. E. Baumann ice cream parlor and candy kitchen which was located at 210 West
Main Street, E. Herro and Son at 210 Main Street, William Pappas at 417 Main
Street, George Spyros at 105 Main Street, Miss Abbie Norton at 614 West Main
Street and Mrs. Marie Vick at 107 West
Main Street. And of course, there
was the Edward M. O’Byrne establishment, also in
The old ice cream parlor was a
vital community institution. It afforded
a pleasant and relaxing place to meet friends, enjoy ice cream and good
homemade candies and it’s too bad that it is now just another part of a
vanished era.
