this place is truly as magical as it seems in this video. and the owner john is as awesome as he comes across here too. i went once and bought a bottle of the Q-cumber soda and while chatting with john he walked me out to my car and *opened the door for me*. there really aren’t enough shop owners like him. there really aren’t enough soda pop stops in the world either.
