The shop even served up $1 ice cream to locals and travelers.

The shop’s website states that it was founded in 1919 by three brothers from Greece. The shop was on the corner of Gwinnett and Habersham streets in Savannah, where two streetcar lines intersected. Riders would reportedly jump off the street car and wait to get a frozen delight.
