FLASH FICTION FRIDAY 55
That hot summer afternoon, my best friend and I rode our bicycles down the long tree-canopied road to Mary Lou's Sweet Shoppe.
Inside the coolness welcomed and refreshed us.
The soda fountain counter with swivel stools ran the length of the right wall.
We sipped the heavenly, fizzy, vanilla sodas wishing summer would never end.

Very delicious!
I remember vanilla floats. In fact, I'll occasionally make one. They just taste great.
AH i felt cooler in that shop!
PG, I have a confession..
my real name is Mary Lou. Keep it to yourself, OK;)
Took me right back to the days of wishing summer would never end. A very special memory in deed. Thanks for sharing...GREAT 55!
WE remember those days. We transformed to human form and sat beside you.
Great 55
Ah, this brought back memories. I was brought up above our family newsagent and sweet shop. Many of my teeth didn't survive, though :-)
we used to go to thriftys for a 10 cent ice cream cone!! love the nostalgia in the 55!!
And I bet those soda's were only a nickel or a dime! I miss my old candy store...spinning on the stools...the coolness of the marble counter tops. Great memories...thanks. :)
I used to go to a place just like that when I was a girl. How I miss it!
Nice memory. It reminds me of a drug store with a soda fountain my friends and I visited on our way home from school.
A "good" flashback. Well done PG. Love the picture also.
