Abe Levis, of Philadelphia's
LEVIS Hot-dogs,
purchased this marble soda fountain,
used, in 1895 for $30.
Still in use in my small kid days,
Dad said it was the oldest
Soda Fountain in the world! Link

Lovely photos and great quotes, Cloudia. Pixie looks adorable and has some nice views.
I can only add to Linda!
Thanks for bringing me smiles! I love the picture of Pixie sitting above it all and the shot of the oldest soda fountain in the world.
All the images are heart warming to look at
You could guess that I would find the oldest soda fountain in the world quite interesting.
Great photos :-D
Lots to marvel at - and it is excellent to see a comment from Andrew too.
Cute little birds.
When you grow older it is more letting go then holding on to keep the balance in life.
...and dad wouldn't lie!
Beautiful capture of the moon.
Love the trees and Pixie has quite the view!
Take care, have a wonderful week!
Happy new week to you and Pixie.
What a view from Pixie's window!
Great words. Love the old soda fountain, Cloudia. ;-)
The oldest soda fountain in the world? Wow! Pixie does have a marvelous view, too. Blessings, Cloudia!
THat soda fountain is cool. I did a Harvard history course online in lockdown and they said it's the ordinary things that disappear because nobody thinks they're important enough to keep or document....This is one of them - but someone did and it's an interesting glimpse into the past. ##WWOT
I wonder if soda-fountain technology has changed over the years!
That soda fountain is pretty amazing. What a super image for T day. And boy that sun in the first photo looks HOT. (Well of course it is; it's the sun.)Have a super T day, and give Pixie a pat for me. Erika
I'm smiling your way, Cloudia. Art's parents had something like a soda fountain back in Honokaa many decades ago.
Life is a ... HIGHWAY! I'm going to ride it all night long.
I love the photo that goes with the Santosh Kalwar quote. It looks like a magic jungle. Pixie goes where ever she chooses, it seems. Nice photo and what a view you have.
I enjoyed learning about that old soda fountain. I'll have a Champ cherry, please. Thanks for this amazing photo of that soda fountain. It's perfect for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.
Aloha! Namaste 🙏
Happy T Day wishes ❤️ . Hugs, Jo x
Awwww, the ducklings! Happy T Day!
Balancing and letting go. A fine line to walk. What has Pixie's attention? Happy T Day
That yellow trumpet tree is spectacular. Also spectacular is the view from your window! How high up are you? 20 storeys? More?
>Love seeing Pixie grooming herself in the window sill seemingly oblivious of the beautiful view.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
