Stacey's Drugstore




Located just adjacent from the train station in downtown Foley, Alabama is a tiny drugstore called Stacey's. The entire downtown Foley is a throwback to a time when main-street existed in America. When small downtowns were clustered around train stations. This was an age when everyone knew their neighbors an age before Walgreens, Wal-mart and big parking lots. Stacey's is an actual drug store that fills prescriptions and has a professional pharmacist on hand but it also has chewing gum, cologne and delicious ice cream sundaes. The sign above the ice cream counter at Stacey's reads Fizzsician indicating that an ice cream soda expert is ready to make a delicious creation. They also serve fresh squeezed lemonade and lime sours, this is a real soda fountain like something out of the movie, "It's a Wonderful Life". They also have self-serve coffee for just 10¢ per cup.



Before Interstate Highways, Urban Sprawl and McDonalds I imagine that America had many great and good places like Stacey's.
