The Fountain on Locust Description:
First-timers at The Fountain on Locust tend to pass through the vestibule and then stop abruptly just inside the door, struck by owner Joy Christensen's larger-than-life Art Deco murals. Her rehab of a 1916 auto showroom in Midtown's Locust Business District has quite an artistic verve. The daily lunchtime crowd, long accustomed to the surroundings, breezes in to get a quick, inexpensive bowl of dill pickle soup, chunky with potatoes, or one of the many sandwiches and salads. Late afternoon brings the soda fountain crowd. The Wisconsin ice creams (everything from Champagne sherbet to Zanzibar chocolate) are lush, and the house-made soda flavors tickle the taste buds. A small dinner menu supplements the lunch dishes, but at this hour most patrons are really just looking for an excuse to indulge in an ice cream martini or retro cocktail with a special someone in a wooden booth tucked back into the corner.
