If you are my age, you knew immediately what this is. For the younger set, it's a hand crank ice crusher. My grandmother had one and always crushed the ice for our Cokes ( Coca Colas from a bottle). For memorabilia and much more, shop What's on Second that has relocated to First Avenue. You can't make that up. Who's on First? You know the rest.

Nostalgia to the Max!
O.K., you win. Yesterday I featured the window of Reed Books/Museum of Fond Memories. As a result, there was a clamoring of requests to see inside. Your wish is my command. This afternoon I jumped in the car and went right back for more. Owner Jim Reed is one of the most delightful proprietors I have encountered. He graciously gave me the run of the place. We chatted about our mutual desire to showcase our city, and he offered some great ideas for more photo ops. Let me just say that it will take more than one visit to give you the full effect of this delightful place. Nostalgia abounds. But wait, did I mention the six zillion used and rare books??? I oohed and aaahed and had to laugh out loud when I overheard him tell callers that he was more than willing to look at what they had to sell him, but that he pretty much had it all. That would be an understatement. Consider today's photos to be the appetizer.
The Tune du Jour is another bit of nostalgia by the Platters, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes". Hope you like it as much as I do.
