It's been a while since I was in Drake's as they closed shortly after I graduated from college but Drake's used to have ice cream sodas.

Zingerman's still has soda fountains but I'm not sure they have (real) egg cream. I don't go there a lot because it is always super busy and you could get diabetes just inhaling the smells of all the sweets.

I don't know that I've heard of Drakes but it sure looks like a quaint place of the past. smile I remember most drug stores and Department stores had a soda fountain.

Tho I was too young to remember, when my brother was little my mom was shopping and took him to the soda fountain in the department store. Apparently they had someone fixing the whipped cream machine. They asked my brother a few times if they could test it out by adding more whipped cream to his milk shake. Heck yea!!! lol They story stuck in my family forever for some reason.
