Anyone remember the Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour Restaurants?

Well it looks like they're coming back...

http://www.farrellsusa.com/

There was one by me in East Brunswick NJ. I went to many birthday parties there when I was a kid. They closed it down in the mid to late 80's.

There was one in Brookwood Village in Birmingham when I was a kid. LOVED IT! I remember there was some kind of troth of ice cream you could order. If you finished it, you got a ribbon that said "I made a pig of myself at Farrell's! That place was awesome fun.

That Web site is EXACTLY the way the place used to look!

There's a Farrell's group on Facebook and people have posted some old photos from the 70's and 80's, it really brought back memories.

We used to go to one in Chula Vista, California back in the 1980s. I loved it.

It was the 1970s when Farrell's was in Birmingham. Man, I wish one would come back.
