Creator	Unknown
Date Original	1963-05
Description	One black and white photographic print showing Opie Evans' mobile consession stand dubbed the "Dreamboat" parked outside of the Diamond Super Market at 12 S. Howard St. in Akron, Ohio. The concession truck was stationed outside the front door of the super market for a full week in May 1963 due to extra hot weather so that its customers and their children could buy cold pepsi-cola and a giant size box of popcorn for only ten cents. This image appeared under the headline "Diamond Super Market a Friendly Store" on page 4 of the May 30, 1963 edition of the "Akrnoite" an African-American newspaper published in Akron.
