Co-founder of Baskin-Robbins ice cream stores dies

I know growing up I spent many afternoons riding my bike to the nearest Baskin-Robbins for ice cream.  This was of course back when you didn’t concern yourself with healthy eating or crossing a major six lane road on your Schwinn BMX bicycle. 

I don’t live too far from that store now and it finally closed a few years back as the area declined.  Now a large Wal-Mart sits on the space where it and the old Avondale Mall (or Columbia Mall as I knew it first) used to live.  As a kid it was cool to have a Mall within riding distance and in its prime the mall sported both a Sears and Macy’s.
