This video was filmed at a local ice cream shop called Ice Cream Town in Hanover, MA in 1989. It was a popular hangout for High School kids and this video is a fairly good representation of what it might look like on a given night.
The owner of the business was very hands-off and became increasingly so as the months wore on. Eventually, she seemed to disappear entirely. Employees were showing up to work but weren't getting paid any longer. The food and supplies were all running low, and eventually all what was left was a bucket of pistachio ice cream. Customers would come in to buy an ice cream and the kid on duty would be like, "We have one flavor. Would you like a small or a large?"
This video was shot before things got that bad, but it wasn't too long after when things started to go downhill. At any rate, it's a nostalgic look at 1989.
Enjoy!
