No…I was not a thought during those years as I came into being in ‘38. My mom was 30 when she had me. She was telling me she went to Rice business college in that area somewhere, she did not know the street..they lived on Steinway for awhile..the candy store was near Dolloff & broadway I believe according to her story..they sold it at some point and her father got a job as a machinist. She went to a catholic school as a young girl until she got her knuckles rapped with a ruler for relaxing them from a prayer position..her father took her out soon after…and went to public school. Any idea what public school was in that area of the city (elementary)?
Today, I spoke to my mom who with her father owned a candie store at 55th & broadway..she has a memory like many who have written in to this site, except she is 98 years young..and when you ask her something from the 1900 teens, she sits for 30 seconds and then never shuts up…she remembers I would guess everything plus.
She met my father at a dance and they were married in 1930..now that i see this site about the theatre, which she mentioned today among other things from the ‘old days’, i will ask her about anything special she remembers about it…I will gladly pass along her remarks.
