This is Pops. When I first encountered Pops I was about 8 years old and became fascinated by the giant soda bottle structure and the wall of colorful sodas that wonderfully decorated the front windows. It lives off Route 44 near Edmond, Oklahoma bringing many people from across the state to come and visit. I only visited this place every so often but each time I did joy usually followed. This is important because now every time I go and visit I get brought back to a younger version of myself and get reminded of the “simpler times”. It influenced me in that it became a place for me to feel like a kid again and now stands as a token for the time before Corona.
