Speaking of "old fashioned soda fountain," whatever happened to
phosphates? When I was a kid (I believe it was during Millard
Filmore's administration), my grandmother used to take me into town
and deposit me at a (real compounding) pharmacy that also had a real
old fashioned soda fountain while she shopped. One of my favorite
requests was for a cherry phosphate. IIRC, it's really just club soda,
cherry syrup and something (lemon?), but I loved it. I've not seen it
offered since I was a teenager.

And do Toddle Houses still exist? I used to love their chocolate cream
pie that, to adult taste buds would no doubt be cloying, but as an 8
year old, that was haute cuisine.

Did I mention my mother was a lousy cook?
