I was visiting with my parents and my Dad brought up the fact that my mom "can't rememer 5 minutes ago" but was very surprised when she remembered the name of an ice cream parlor that was in SLC downtown, next to the "Uptown" Theatre. Now I vaguely remember a theatre being there when I worked in the city during the 70's - it was an X rated place as I recall...back before home videos .... anyway, my Mother recalled the Keeley Ice Cream Co. and how much she liked going there. It was built in 1917 - I didn't see a history on when it was closed, but I assume that my Mom went there during the 30s -40s. I pulled these up on line and thought I would share with you, pictures of one of my Mom's old time happy places. I can just picture her on the stool, having a cherry coke or an ice cream sundae!

Aunt Jeanie, this is a great post - glad I got to read it.
...his memory is not that much better, and even when it does work the distortions are large!
Oh well...
