A special thank you to Savannah from the Trumbull County Historical Society for taking the time to visit Sweet Memories and the Golden Age Vintage Marketplace to learn about the history and revival of Golden Age Beverages.

We’re incredibly grateful when people who are passionate about preserving local history take the time to listen, ask questions, and appreciate the work that’s gone into bringing this iconic Mahoning Valley brand back to life. Countless hours have been spent researching, collecting artifacts, uncovering forgotten stories, and preserving the legacy of Nathan Darsky and Golden Age so future generations can experience a piece of our region’s history.

History deserves to be preserved, shared, and celebrated—and we’re honored to play a small part in keeping these stories alive.

Thank you again, Savannah, for your genuine interest, your time, and for everything you do to help preserve the history of our region. We truly appreciate your visit and look forward to working together to keep our local heritage alive.

Last night I had the pleasure of meeting Michael, CEO of NORKA Beverage and the new owner of the iconic Mary Coyle Ice Cream shop in Akron. Not only is he preserving a piece of Akron history, but he also surprised me with an incredible gift—two originally unopened Golden Age soda bottles that are nearly 100 years old! 🥤

As someone who has dedicated years to bringing Golden Age back to life, receiving these bottles was truly special. It’s a reminder that preserving local brands and community traditions matters.

What impressed me most wasn’t just the history—it was the people behind it. Michael and his team embody the values that built companies like Norka and Mary Coyle in the first place: family, community, hard work, and a genuine passion for serving others.

If you’re in Akron, do yourself a favor and support both Norka Beverage and Mary Coyle Ice Cream. Great products, great service, and even better people. We’re lucky to have businesses like these keeping our local history alive for future generations.

Thank you, Michael, for your generosity, friendship, and commitment to preserving a little piece of Northeast Ohio’s story. ❤️
