One drug store is taking people back to the past

In a tiny town on a lonely stretch of western highway, a glowing neon drugstore sign beckons as cars and loaded semi-trucks thunder past. A few travelers stop - maybe they're wondering about the vintage soda fountain visible through the window. Inside, they find a time capsule over 100 years in the making.

In a tiny town on a lonely stretch of western highway, a glowing neon drugstore sign beckons as cars and loaded semi-trucks thunder past. A few travelers stop - maybe they're wondering about the vintage soda fountain visible through the window.

Inside, they find a time capsule over 100 years in the making. Jeff Whittington has this report for the Mountain West News Bureau.
