When I was a college kid there was a pharmacy close to campus that had a small lunch counter in back. Simple lunch food, egg salad sandwiches, tuna melts, chili dogs, soup of the day, chipped beef and gravy over toast. Nothing fancy, but good and cheap. Building was torn down circa 1990 and a cookie cutter apartment complex went up.

Sad to see a piece of Americana history go away. You don’t see lunch counters like that anymore.

I had a grandfather who was a pharmacist and owned a drug store. He had a soda fountain. He died before I was born, but the stories of all of this stuff being made there are legendary.
