My memory of the Cooper was in 1962-63 when I attended “How the West was Won”. MY mom and aunt dropped me off downtown and I asked a police officer which bus to take to St' Louis Park. I took the bus to the area and had some time before the movie started. As I remember McCarthy’s restaurant was across the street from the Cooper. No McDonald’s in the area, not even White castle. I went inside, looked at the menu, and ordered a bowl of Ice Cream, which at 75 Cents was all I could spend. For a 14-15 yr old hayseed from Wausau WI, this was all a great adventure. The Cinerama experience was all I had imagined it would be, and if anyone cares anymore, I was there Ken Amundsen Wausau
