An old advertisement for Prince Castles Ice Cream. Summit Illinois USA.(Circa 1970's ?)

An old advertisement for Prince Castles Ice Cream. Summit Illinois USA. (Circa 1970's ?), a photo by Eddie from Chicago on Flickr.

I grew up on the near southwest side of Chicago Illinois during the 1960's, 70's and 80's...and I fondly remember a little ice cream stand that also sold hamburgers on South Harlem Avenue near West 57th Street known as Prince Castles.

Prince Castles was a quaint local little establishment that was located along the west side of South Harlem Avenue, just north of West 57th Street in southwest suburbn Summit Illinois. My family and I used to stop there occasionally for ice cream during the summertime of any given year.

I believe that this place was in buisness here, until it had closed possibly during the early 1990's.

Prince Castles was located just immediately south of the long gone Candlelight Dinner Theatre Playhouse, wich was demolished by the mid 1990's.

The entire property was redeveloped during the mid to late 1990's with a Portillo's Hot Dogs replacing the demolished Candlelight Dinner Theatre Playhouse, and a short lived and very "GREASY TASTING" place known as Krispy Kreme donuts at the former Prince Castles ice cream store site.

The old Krispy Kremem donuts building is long abandoned and standing today as an Eyesore along South Harlem Avenue.

This old advertisement, was sent to Me by a friend named Terry who writes to Me all the time.

Thank You Terry!
This old advertisement brought back some happy memories for Me today.

Thanks.
