highland park pharmacy

my great friend, meg introduced me to the soda fountain at h.p. pharmacy years ago in college. walking in, you don't expect much, but immediately realize the charm and history that makes this place take a special spot in your heart. there is typically a line out the door, loads of families, kids, adults, seniors, you name it, lined up on stools at the counter. all God's creatures enjoy a shake and a grilled cheese.

i just took my brother, sister-in-law(josh and joy) and mom for their first pharmacy experience, and i must say, it was a good time. watching people i love take in and enjoy a place that i have grown so fond of was really f-u-n. it's so great sharing hidden little jewels like that with newbies.

and i must say, i enjoyed my ham and grilled cheese, lime freeze, and a little bit of mom's chocolate shake...come to think of it, i need to go for a jog...
