Railroad Drug & Old Time Soda Fountain is celebrating its 10th birthday today. As part of the celebration, Mayor Grayson Vandegrift issued a proclamation declaring it "Railroad Drug & Old Time Soda Fountain Day." Here are the "whereas" clauses, without that word:
- Ken and Amanda Glass opened Railroad Drug on July 23, 2010;
- Dr. Ken Glass has served as the pharmacist, and Amanda has served in a variety of management roles since that day, and their son Kaden and daughter Caroline have been fixtures there ever since;
- Railroad Drug has offered an indispensable service to the community by providing medications prescribed by a medical doctor, supplying over the counter remedies, and giving consultation on medicines and their proper usage;
- Railroad Drug delivers medicine to patient’s doorsteps, and offers the overall service that is often missing in modern day pharmacies;
- Ken is often known to leave his family on evenings and weekends to deliver medicine to citizens in urgent need, young and old
- Quality service and consistent access to medicine prescribed by a medical doctor greatly improves, health, happiness, and quality of life;
- Residents and visitors alike enjoy the nostalgic feel of a milkshake, ice cream, or other sweet treat available at the popular soda fountain of Railroad Drug;
- Amanda and Ken are involved citizens in other ways: Ken serves as a local boy scout troop leader, gives regular check-ins to our wisest citizens at our senior care facility, and offers vaccinations at local events; Amanda has served as president of the Northside Parent-Teacher Organization and is often found volunteering for local causes; and
- Railroad Drug has become a staple of Midway’s business and cultural center.
