Description

This story is about the "Virginia Theather" where the author and his friends would go to see movies. The author talks about how movie tickets would only be 9 cents, but then they went up to 19 cents in "later years". This story is also largely about the "Pie Man" and "The Pie Shop". Apparently, "Sweet potatoe was down right delicious!" and the pie man had a special recipe for the best pie crusts. The author says, "You could smell his product all over Henry Street".
