Nice piece of writing, not overly sentimental, but I think it might have been even more powerful with imported sound--the ring of a cash register, magazine pages thumbed, the blast of a spray of soda water, and so on. Overall, beautifully done.
Beautiful short piece, evocative of days gone by. Reminded me of my version of the soda fountain -- the lunch counter at Woolworths, on Grand Avenue in St. Louis. Were there ever enough french fries? Thanks for your images that stir memories.
