Another great one. We are praying they will survive another 100 years.

My grandfather owned a Rexall drug store in a small Tennessee town from the mid 40's through the mid 70's. It had a soda fountain and I used to spend summers there starting around 1965 bugging the staff and as I got older actually working at the store, making deliveries, scooping ice cream, making milk shakes and ice cream sodas. Times were so simple then.

I enjoyed seeing the Drug Store ' thank you for sharing with us.

A good pharmacist is hard to find Molly is rare. My pharmacist just passed away 😢 I had him as a pharmacist since I was a teenager, I was in a bad car wreck at the age of 17 & had an aortic dissection which required heparin blood thinner once I was home from the hospital no pharmacy could find that medicine for me, but Mark drove 2 hours away to get me what I needed and I'll forever be thankful for that.

My dad always said a good pharmacist was better than a doctor. He was right.

I remember eating food at a drug store when I was growing up. And it was absolutely delicious. I miss it alot. I want to thank everyone for all of your hard work and dedication. Also Thank you John for everything you do. Enjoy your day and take care

Oh the good old days. Thank for sharing this awesome video.

My adopted mother was a cook for Hoskins for several years. Her name was Appie Vowell (from Lake City) back then. She would go across the street to the old Standard Knitting Mill and take lunch orders from the workers then go back and fix their orders and deliver them back to them at lunch time. She also was a "quantity cooking trainer" for the old Scottish Inn up near the bridge where Burger King sits now. When she wasn't there she travelled to other locations to train the cooks. Before she retired she ended up working at Chapman's Restaurant in Lake City. When she was at Hoskins she spoke fondly of Molly and her sisters. She said she had done some babysitting for the Hoskins. Molly was very young but her sister Sheri remembered Miss Appie when I met her years ago when she worked at the Recreation Center. I'd love to hear any stories about Mom (Appie) if there is anyone out there that remembers her.

I remember a place like this that was all Victorian that closed in the early 1990's and was very busy and the new owners remodeled the place and lost 95 percent of its business because people liked going there because of the originality of the place.Seen it happen many times.

That’s a hoppin’ place absolutely wonderful glad I’ve found your channel!!!

I remember as a kid, there was a Rexall drug store in Smyrna TN. Seeing this brings me back memories of that place. Wish it was still open.

Thoroughly enjoyed from way up here in Wisconsin. Thanks!

Fabulous video. That banana split is a work of art!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

This brings back such good memories! I'm from Jonesboro, Ark. and we had our City Drug, which was practically like the one you're featuring in this video! I can remember as a little girl in the early 70's going with my mother to City Drug and ordering the cheeseburger special and strawberry milk shakes. Thank you for sharing this video! 😊
