About Wishnick’s Pharmacy – it was on the southeast corner of North Ave & St. Louis, on the same block as the Grand Theater. Our family doctor, Dr. Monet, and dentist were above the pharmacy. Across the street was Switzer’s? Bakery that had the best cherry pies. Next door to the Grand was the Slop Shop soda fountain (great milkshakes and banana splits)and down the block was Weiner’s Dept. Store and Mitchell’s Hot Dogs, and a butcher with sawdust all over the floor.
I loved going to movies at both the Grand and the Tiffin. Being Catholic, we couldn’t see B-rated movies, so I remember sitting in the Tiffin lobby during a B movie so I could see the other part of the double feature. B-rated movies from back then would probably be rated PG today!
There was also a Wishnicks on North and St. Louis. Didn’t know there were two.
