He usually parked on the street near St. Elizabeth's school. When you picked out your flavor, he would turn the cup upside down and sometimes, you got one that was specially marked and it was free!<br /><br />I lived in the area as a kid and spent many days at Canby Park, swimming, exploring, riding my bike, and climbing the rocks.
