Remember the days when Anton's was open and quite a destination restaurant and Baskin Robbins was next door, the "go to" place for a date night ice cream? The above store on Battleground Avenue closed December 24, 2020. The building looks so empty and abandoned. Hopefully something will open there soon. It looks like renovation may be in progress. It was always such a challenge to park there, but when you got inside, the flavors were oh so delicious.The store had been there for decades. Their original slogan of "31 flavors" was so creative. They also introduced ice cream cakes to the public. We happened to drive by on Thursday when all of the work on the above-ground wires was being done. We parked near the very empty store. We miss it a lot and can't wait to see what goes in the space. We're wondering if they will keep the bright pink! What was your favorite flavor?
Happy Saturday!
Strawberry or Chocolate - - That area had several date locations as you mentioned. Cellar Antons / IPD, Sandwich Construction, Chase / Place, Deno's, Krispy Kreme, cheap date there was always McDonalds (HA/HA) - Then of course after food, it was time to go to Janus Theater. THANKS as always for sharing your photos!!!

A lot of places went under due to the pandemic.
