We have a very sweet story for our listeners.  Actually, it’s several sweet stories about some vintage Soda Fountains in Alabama.  We were reading, an Alabama Life & Culture, from September, 2003.  When we ran across an article about Alabama’s vintage Soda Fountains, many over 100 years old.  We decided to share our findings with our listeners.  So they might plan a refreshing road trip to “ Sweet Home Alabama”.  Lot’s  to see in those lovely old town squares.  I’m sure you will find at least one of these historical landmarks will fit nicely in your summertime bucket list for summer 2024.  I want to try Cammie’s, Creole Praline, in Mobile Alabama.  That’s on my Bucket list for summer.
