Do you find yourself longing for the good, ‘ol days every now and then? Those days when everyone in town knew everyone else (and their business, too). The days when we shopped at little mom and pops and started our day at the town bakery that baked the best fresh pastries. Way back when, a visit to a soda fountain was a treat. Today, enjoy a rush of nostalgia at this old-fashioned soda fountain in Missouri.

Journey back to the mid-20th century when you walk through the front doors of The Pickle Barrel in Elsberry, a charming, old-fashioned soda fountain that also sells antiques and flowers.
