Two retail space were erected on the Mirror lot . I have assembled a photo album here>https://www.facebook.com/jcrt1/media_set?set=a.10213685964763278&type=3
My grandparents operated two businesses once located at 1519 Elm St. (formerly The Mirror) during the 1940s-1950s. The Juice Bar / bar and arcade and The Tobacco Mart / tobacco products, news stand, shine parlor, and photo services. Their only son, my father b.1933, literally grew up inside all the movie houses that once lined Elm St.. I have several interesting family pics. taken on the street at this location including one taken in 1953 (dated to the movie marquee) of my GM standing in Elm St. in front of The Rialto along side The Budweiser Clydesdales. My father can most likely fill in some details from this time period.
