Do you ever wish you had lived in a different era? Just to experience what life was like before all the advances of modern technology? When all towns had a Main Street and penny candy was the norm rather than the exception? Well, treat yourself to a blast from the past, or experience it for the first time, when you visit this retro ice cream and candy shop in Pennsylvania.
Stroll back through the pages of yesteryear when you visit Ballyhoo, an old school ice cream and candy shop in West Pittston.
In fact, you'll probably feel like a kid again when you see the large assortment of old school candy - from Pop Rocks to Sugar Babies. (Check out the vintage gold cash register, too!)
Notice the cow in the window? Well, that's Flossy, and her outfits change with the season. She's also in the window in front of the museum section of the candy store that's bursting with unique pieces.
You'll probably find yourself drawn to the candy counter, where you can stock up on wax candy bottles, satellite wafers (or flying saucers, if you prefer), and...
A selection of homemade cotton candy. Try such taste-tantalizing flavors as blue raspberry, bacon, and apple pie. Or how about a classic orange dreamsicle?
Of course, you can't visit this retro ice cream and candy shop without a delicious ice cream treat. How about a scoop or two of chocolate ice cream or a hot fudge sundae?
Ballyhoo serves a generous assortment of ice cream flavors and even offers vegan options.
And, you can't go wrong with some freshly popped popcorn and freshly roasted peanuts, can you?
Embrace a rush of nostalgia at Ballyhoo, open Wednesday through Monday from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Address: 128 Luzerne Avenue, West Pittston, PA, 18643
