Sometimes we’re accused of dwelling too much on the past. But when you walk into a place as interestingly preserved as Isaly’s in West View, it’s only natural to reflect on what life was once like. From its pressed tin ceiling to its tiled floor, the small restaurant looks much as it did when it opened in 1950. Back then you could find around 400 Isaly’s locations in Ohio and Pennsylvania. There you could chomp into a “skyscraper cone” or pick up some chipped-chopped ham. Today only a handful of Isaly’s remain. Some, like this one on Perrysville Avenue, have become more than just sandwich and ice cream shops. They’ve become places of shared stories and memories.
