It's Saturday afternoon and you want to take your best girl out for a soda...no I mean a SODA! You know, poodle skirts, Levis rolled at the cuff, white socks, penny loafers and a London Fog jacket. Cool man! The perfect place to ask her to wear your high school ring...or your wedding ring for another 40 years.Your looking for Don's Ruston Market on 51st and Winnifred in Ruston. You can almost hear Bobby Vinton singing Blue Velvet as you drive up.
Opened in 1906 at 52nd and Shirley and at this location(due to fire) since 1917 you really need to stop by this "if only the walls could talk" treasure. The food is great, all of the traditional soda fountain faire is there but for me the MAGIC comes through two straws on opposite sides of an old fashioned milkshake, or two spoons working their way towards the center of one banana split.
So when you're going cruising next time, or you want your children or grandchildren to taste their first cherry phospate stop by and meet Don and Beth Torbert who have lovingly operated this gem for the last 28 of the market's 104 years.
