I really wish I could go back and check it out at least one more time. My last visit was about 6-7 years ago. And the only family I had there moved away in 2003 after my Grandmother passed away. I used to visit at least once a year when I was a teen. And are you guys talking about the Lemon Ice King of Corona?
