The soda fountain at the Mechanicsville Drug Store (that was my first job - as a "soda jerk" when I was 15 years and 8 months old- that was when you could get a work permit)is still going strong! I haven't been there in ages, but now I just may go back and have a limeade for old times sake. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned limeades yet - seltzer water, the juice of several limes, and a few squirts of syrup. One of the most refreshing drinks ever invented. We made "real" milkshakes too - lots of ice cream and a little milk, and the syrup or fruit of your choice all mixed up and so thick you could hardly slurp it up in a straw. Oh we also did hand packed ice cream. It was a great place to work - I was always in the know about the local gossip !
