Many year ago, and it was somewhere near Bryce Canyon in Utah of all places, we stopped at a non-descript little roadside eatery. Nothing about the place promised anything more than some touristy souveniers, mineral specimens, a decent sandwich and something cold to drink. Imagine our surprise to discover that the owner of the place had an old fashioned soda shop counter inside, and some of the best black and white ice cream sodas we ever had. I miss that. Of course we also had to have a real cherry coke before we left.
ReplyDeleteWe made a similar happy discovery in an upstate truck stop once.
