Cushman snow cone cart
Wednesday, August 13, 2014
 This is an old photo but I think you will all like it. While I was rail-fanning at Valley Jct. in East St. Louis one day in the late 1980s this fella pulled up in his little cart and sold me a snow cone. I have always thought that I would build a model of this cart someday. This was actually in a really rough part of town...seriously! I was a little concerned about the vulnerability of this little fellow in the exposed Cushman cart especially in handling money in the open. I admired his ingenuity and his pluck and have always wondered what ever happened to him. Sorry I posted this in new event again, one of these days I will get it right.

That's alright. Now that you mentioned it, I do wonder what happened to that guy too. Especially considering I've never seen or heard of anything like this.
