Malt shop in Dearborn

[d2dyeah]

There was a great candy/soda store next to the Calvin theater on Michigan Ave., that sold magazines, every comic book you could want, and walls of candy...They had a few stools at a small counter in the back to make shakes and cones, but I think they did it on the sly as Sanders was across the street.

That wasn't Little Professor, was it?

I remember before the Calvin burned the final time. The kids from high school used to smoke dope then crawl up into the space above the ceiling. They'd find some holes and drop popcorn on people.

Also, the Calvin was the theater my dad went to on Dec. 7, 1941, and then came out of the double-feature wondering why traffic was stopped and people were talking angrily in the street.

Wasn't the little professor in East Dearborn across from the Art Van furniture store?....My Dad and uncles favored that place for the racing forms and betting. The last movie I remember seeing at the Calvin was "Midnight Cowboy" and the candy store was by then a racing form, girlie magazine place, no more ice cream. Maybe it was the Little Professor 2.

In my memory, Little Professor was on Michigan Avenue in west Dearborn, near where the Calvin Theatre was. I don't remember an Art Van there, though.

Maybe you're thinking of an east Dearborn theater, such as the Camelot? Or the one with the glass atrium? [[Forget what it was called.)
