The old fashion soda fountain is at a pharmacy called Nau's. They make a great burger too!  I don't have a picture of the pharmacy, but I will put one up soon enough!  Nevertheless I had been enchanted by a few of my fellow team members raving about the neighborhood pharmacy and it's circa 1930's soda fountain!  I was drawn to the prospect of having some of my woes magically medicated with a different tasting soda! The fact that I had recently seen the history of soda on the History Channel probably had a bit to do with it as well!  Perry and I sat down and stated chatting about the neighborhood and it's charm.  We were going to walk across the street to the Galaxy Cafe but decided to enjoy a burger from the pharmacy instead.  Man o man was that a keeper!  I felt like I was in the Andy Griffith show.  This pharmacy, its soda fountain, and timeless wide mouth burger threw me back about 20 years!  If ever you have a change to visit Austin, Clarksville captivates what Austin is, was, and aspires to be! I highly recommend the neighborhood!

That soda fountain makes a great Lime aid and a really good hamburger.
