Civic Theater--Saturday matinees. 25 centats for everyone. Sometimes a feature and a whole bunch of shorts, sometimes a "cartoon carnival" with three hours of shorts. If the feature was a western, after it let out there were massive gun battles with 45 caliber index fingers all the way home up Whittier in the vacant lots that still predominated in the business district along Whittier.

Polar Bear on Wayburn and Whittier for ice cream.

Ureel Hardware on [[I think) McKinney and Whittier. The guy had anything you needed, but his store was so disorganized it was impossible to find it.

Crazy Harry who ran Archie's drug store on Roxbury and Whittier. Kids were always giving him a hard time so he would leave the store and chase them,

The shopping district on Houston between Kelly and Hayes [[Grinells, Sanders, Kresge, etc)

Big Bear Supermarket and Packers Supermarket.
