It seems like so long ago that soda fountains were mainstream. These days, it’s pretty hard to find a real soda fountain that serves shakes, sundaes, and other tasty treats. It’s especially hard to find one that’s actually been around since the 1950s and is located in a drug store. If you live in Watford City or happen to be passing through, you’re in luck – they have one! Check out this nostalgia-filled soda fountain in North Dakota that’s hiding right under our noses:
