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.

The closest I’ve found to the old style milkshakes is at a place called “Brewster’s” ice cream...they still use scooped ice cream and milk, not that soft serve stuff. I spurge (calorie-wise) every now and then and sneak one in.

Ah yes, Chapo’s Drug Store, Superior, AZ. Hamburger and a 5 cent cherry soda. Eat your heart out McDonalds, you may have destroyed the corner soda counter but you’ll never equal the taste!

In Texas we were drinking them in drugstore booths (6 to 8 in a booth) with Johnny Ray singing, "Cry" on the jukebox.

The good old days!
