John H. (n7iqv),
In Tucson, my favorite drug store counter was actually downtown in the Walgreens on Stone & Pennington (recently renovated and being used by UA Architecture).? I don't remember much of the store itself but the counter and associated dining area was immediately to your left as you entered off Stone.? The counter was towards the back and the booths were all located along the windows fronting Stone & Pennington.? Most of the time my family would take up a booth and I remember being able to sit there, eating my BLT or a breaded cutlet and watching all the people as they walked by the windows.? Downtown Tucson in the late 50's and even the early 60's was fantastic.? Sometimes, when my mother and sisters were knee-deep in shopping at Steinfeld's or Jacome's, my dad will take my brother and me over to the Walgreens and we would sit at the counter and have a Coke or a milk shake.??Just us men.? Great times!?
