Abstract:
Ice cream sundaes offer a respite from the hot days of summer. Jackson describes a number of shops in western North Carolina that not only serve ice cream sundaes that satisfy the taste buds but serve them in a setting that turns the clock back to a simpler time. The shops are Royall's Soda Shop (Elkin); Woolworth Walk Soda Fountain (Asheville); Boone Drug Store Fountain (Boone); Mooresville Ice Cream Company (Mooresville); Rocky's Soda Shop & Grill (Brevard); Jukebox Junction Soda Shoppe (Canton); The Soda Shop (Canton); Innes Street Drug Company (Salisbury); Jack the Dipper (Sylva); Spanky's (Salisbury); Soda Pops (Bryson City); and Pike's Old Fashioned Soda Shop (Charlotte).
