I have been craving a cherry phosphate, which I think I had those originals back in the 50s in NY, at a little soda fountain.
How I really do wish they’d bring back these old fashioned soda fountains, because with it we ordered these fabulous old fashioned hamburgers on buns...mmmm.

Oh, it’s only in San Francisco. Darn, now I have to go to SF!!!
(well, actually, that’s not sooo bad;))
” Many bartenders who didn’t flee the country during Prohibition to practice their craft became soda jerks. “
What will soda jerks become, when all of the ingredients in sodas are prohibited? Bartenders, perhaps, if they appreciate irony.
I’m still sad that the best ice cream parlor/soda shop in Chicago, the Zephyr, closed down a few years ago. I have very fond memories of the special occasions when we would go there throughout my childhood. After we went to the Rainbow roller rink, or ice skating at McFettridge Park, and it was a big spot to hit after high school dances for kids I hung out with that went to Lane Tech and Gordon too.
Mmmm... what I wouldn’t give right now for a Zephyr banana split, a Pineapple Shake, or perhaps, if I was up for a challenge the 10 scoop “War of the Worlds” sundae!
