Today we had two Grape Italian Ice Enthusiasts drive nearly 4 hours round trip (approx 230 miles) for 2 cans of Grape Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice – “the purple kind.” Her husband had the Grape Italian ice last year at Funtown Pier in Seaside Park, NJ and went crazy for it and couldn’t stop talking about it. So as a surprise for his upcoming birthday, Mandy and Margie drove from upstate New York to Elizabeth, New Jersey to grab some of the purple stuff. Let us know if you would like to visit us anytime during the week- we’ll be here!
Space Shuttle Enterprise
When Little Jimmy’s Italian Ice heard the Space Shuttle Enterprise was flying over Liberty state Park in Jersey City I grabbed my video and drove over to Jersey City to get some footage near the Statue of Liberty from the Jersey side. Pretty amazing- Enterprise actually never flew into space and was the prototype that tested the Space Shuttle for the Challenger.
