David – I just found this site and after living in Dorchester through the 50’s and 60’s, I find we are now neighbors in Florida. I am in Cape Coral. Anyway, I do remember Lakin’s Candy Store and the Field Drug at the corner of Harvard St. and Talbot Ave. I can ask my parents about your other questions as they may remember.
My mother seems to remember the name of the theater that gave away dishes as “The Magnet”??
