Summer,
Americana and Coca-Cola go together like mom, Chevrolet and apple pie, as seen
on an early September afternoon at Chantilly Goods and Weissport Washboard in
historic Weissport, Pennsylvania.
Chantilly
Goods is an old fashion ice cream parlor, vintage soda fountain and candy
shoppe. Walking into this old time soda shoppe is like stepping back in time
into a 1920s and 1930s soda fountain.
Inside
and outside, it’s a wonderful scoop of Americana, a real vintage gem … with
sprinkles on top!
Chantilly
Goods is located near the Weissport Trailhead of the Delaware and Lehigh
National Heritage Corridor (D&L Trail) and rents surreys (multiple-person
bikes) to ride on the trail.
Running
from Wilkes-Barre to Bristol, the D&L Trail passes through the Lehigh and
Delaware rivers and their canals in Pennsylvania.
