Nov 2 Soda Fountains?

I had a lemon phosphate at an old tyme soda fountain yesterday (Nov 1) in Julian. It tasted like lemon soda. Not sure what all the fuss about soda fountains is. Of course, I was already a bit jaded b/c it was the town's "apple days" and there were hardly any apples around...I guess they were all put into the pies that people were waiting in line for...waiting in line for pie...maybe they are just practicing for waiting in line on tuesday...
