Amanda J. Alonso: The Fair Oaks Pharmacy is a South Pasadena institution. In addition to being a working pharmacy and drug store, it also features an old time soda fountain! It's wonderful to stop by for a lime rickey or an egg cream. Choose your seat at the counter inside or along the sidewalk on a nice day.
