“One of my earliest memories of Tacony was visiting my Aunt, Uncle and Cousins for the OLC Carnival. I don't like rides like salt n pepper shakers, or rollercoasters, but I remember the food tents, where my Aunt volunteered, and sitting on the wall of a nearby house that had the half-grindstones along the top (still there, I think) while we ate our water ice.”

There’s nothing like a cold water ice on a hot Summer day (or any other day)! Tacony residents old and young have fond memories of their favorite spots and events that featured this sweet treat.
