Well a lot of them did anyway!

Does anyone know of any drug store soda fountains still in operation?

The closest extant one I can find to my neck of the woods is the Saugatuck Drug Store in Saugatuck on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan just a few miles southwest of Grand Rapids, Michigan along I196:

We foxes are more than active enough to avoid such outcomes!

I've been collecting since the 90's and approaching 30 years in the hobby. When I'm on Facebook or other places I have started to feel like one of the elder statesmen (if not by age since I started collecting pretty young) than at least years in the hobby.

It's good to be reminded that I am still wet behind the ears compared to many. Which I am glad about, since there is so much more to know and explore.

The local one in my previous location was in operation till 2023 - we left Corydon in 2021, but I go back occasionally as my PCP is still there. It was a pretty cool place.
