This building was originally built in 1964 as Mandy's Drive-In and was designed by Toby Nadel and Edward Fisher. Despite the title, it was counter service and you would take your order to go.
After Mandy's closed, it was later converted to a toy store called "Kid's Town," in which the box-like addition to the right was put on.
Here's the recognizable entryway left-over from Mandy's.
Both the entryway and the box-like addition from when this was Kid's Town.
Wood paneling galore! This is what would have been the interior of the drive-in.
The rest of the interior is generic Dollar Tree fare. Interestingly not all the floor is grubby carpet.
Dollar Tree has been here long enough to have plastic United Steel & Wire carts. This one is dated 4-04. For some bizarre reason, the vertical poles designed to keep the carts in the store have pool noodles attached to them.
