Friday night, I did something I've been wanting to do on a Friday night for some time now.
I walked to Eckel's drug store in Mechanicsburg for an ice-cream cone.
The town landmark still makes milkshakes with those lime-green mixers and whips up some of the tastiest floats and flavored sodas around. It was the setting for filming of some scenes in the movie "Girl Interrupted" in early 1999.
It's one of the reasons I love living in a small town. If you've never been there, it's definitely worth the 35-minute drive from York.
This is a great place to step back in time. The owner is the grand daughter of one of the Eckels Brothers that started the store. She has a wonderful lunch menu. The pharmacy looks like it did when her aunt remodeled in the 1920's. Live music on Friday nights.
