My Father, Fred Schlichting, was a partner with his cousins - Bill and Carl Edebohls, in Edebohls Ice Cream Parlor. Originally, they only had the first store in Sunnyside (We lived in the "Mets" just around the corner from the store), sometime after I became 8yrs old they purchased another store in Corona. I always loved the Queens blvd. store best! I would go there with my Mother, and recall I always had to have a dress, and wore a pinafore over it, in order for my DAd to feel proud of me when I walked into the store. I'm 70 - so that was many years ago. I was just reading about Jahn's ice cream parlor - another favorite of mine. I loved the Kitchen Sink with my friends at Jahn's. Just thought I would check in with this info, as the grandson of one of the Edebohls left my Dad Fred Schlichting out of the history and he was very much part of it. It was in his blood, and supplied us with a wonderful middle class American life! I love my Sunnyside roots!
