A Trip to the Big Rock Candy Mountain, aka Galco’s Soda Pop Shop

Rarely have I ever seen such a diamond in the rough store as Galco’s Soda Pop Shop. Established in 1897, this incredible little place in Highland Park stocks more soda pop than you can shake a stick at. Grab yourself a root beer (or 2, or 20), and then mosey on down to the back of the store where they stock beers from around the world. I’ll be posting some of these as I drink them, but here are a few photos I shot while visiting the store.
