Reasons We Love Kansas • A nostalgic bit of American summer culture lives on in locations across the state From the 1920s to the 1950s, most American drugstores had soda fountains where customers could grab a carbonated drink, eat ice cream and socialize. In Kansas, more than two dozen soda fountains remain, some in vintage pharmacies and others in new locations.
