I have a lot of memories of the Tiffin Theater. I lived on Karlov, almost right across the street, for almost 20 years. I remember a lot of Thursday nights with the friends, going to see the movie before it closed that night. I think I saw every movie there, when I was a kid. I remember the free kid mantinees on Saturday. They would show some cheap Godzilla or Jerry Lewis movie. It was always fun on a rainy day. And they always had a cartoon before the first feature. I remember the nickel and dime candy machines and their great custard cones. But the thing I loved the most, and the thing that made them unique, was their cheese popcorn. It was the best I have
ever tasted. Nut-On-Clark comes close, but it’s not the same. The Tiffin brings back memories of all the old places that lined North Ave. I also remember walking past Woolworth, the morning it burned down, on my way to grade school at Bethel Elem. Sweetland,which became Doc. Jazz, right next door. Pioneer Bank, Helen-Curtis, Jimmy’s H.D., Ursin’s Shoes, Hi-Ho Chinese, Vito’s Pizza, Crawford Dept. Store & First Distributors, Serelli’s Beefs, Beer City… I could go on. It’s really ashame we don’t have many neighborhoods like that anymore. I will remeber that area like the back of my hand, for a lifetime
