It was Picco. I remember it as the best Ice Cream you could get around here.

1 They were the kind of local business that used to be such a vital element in our communities. The A. J. Cripe "Town Talk" bakery was another Pittsburg institution. Sad to see them go. |

1 I think the family that owned Picco was the Tustin Family. Charles Tustin. A lady that worked there in the fountain was Gladys. She raised a bunch of "Lakeside" kids in that place. I would always get a cherry phosphate or orange sherbert. |

I loved PICCO chocolate chip. I've never found another like it.

I was born in Pittsburg, and lived about 4 blocks from Picco.. We moved away when I was about 5 but the place had already made such an impression on me, that when a friend and I drove back to visit , after graduating High School, it was one of the first places we went.. and everything came right back.. the smell and the taste were at least as good as I remembered. In 50 some years I have never experienced anything that came so close to living up to the memory as Picco did.

What a coincidence Julie! My cousin and I also spent a lot of time at PICCO and I also lived on Euclid Street. Not only did we spend time there but I started working at PICCO when I was attending school at Lakeside Jr. High. I worked until I graduated from Pittsburg High School. It was the one job I actually LOVED. The owners, Charles and Beverly, were WONDERFUL people and taught me a lot about the business. I especially enjoyed learning to make the most beautiful ice cream roses, baby shoes and etc. I don't think I've seen anything like them since. Many years later I returned to Pittsburg after having moved away, only to find PICCO had closed down. It was a sad moment for me and I wish I'd been able to purchase a piece of memorabilia from those days. Now I too drive by and share my memories with anyone in the car who'll listen.

Ha! I also lived on Euclid. I would walk down as often as my parents would let me... in fact, some ice cream sounds sooo good right now.
