Does anyone remember the wall of shampoo bubbles on Kostner Ave when Helene Curtis cleaned equipment. I lived across the street, when it exploded our roof was pushed back two inches and all windows with storms broke out—glass everywhere. That was a very busy factory area. Zenith had three shifts and 1:30 am was as busy as 3:30pm with people walking four abreast to get to the buses. Where did all the jobs go? What a shame…
Found memories of the Tiffin almost every Saturday afternoon in 1955 to 1960. Luv’d most Green River drop a paper cup-ice and watched the green goodness flow; that, box of popcorn good to go toons,and two movies—great. Did get to even sit in the balconey 2-3 times too. In the 1950 saw live shows and the organ always played. Still remember that. Mom took us to sit in Air Conditioning. Anyone remember Pic N Chicken—gave diners finger bowls and warm linen hand towels after eating—NICE! Sal’s Grocery store was close also. There was a funeral home/then, dance studio on Grand and Kostner and a Baby Only furniture store on North and Grand,had a stork with a baby bundle (Stork’s??). Just went back—sad but fun. Strange with HelenCurtis gone. I lived across from it and my house was badly damaged by the blast; pushed our roof back 2 inches and blew out all the windows. That was some day. Oh does anyone remember the wall of bubbles across Kostner when they would wash off their equipment. It was funny seeing cars drive thru the bubbles.

Thanks for all of the neighborhood photos of the Tiffin Theater — brings great memories.
