My recollection of Cushman's was on the southwest corner of Broadway and 207th St., and their rival, Hanscom's Bakery was on the nortwest corner. That was in the late 40s, early 50s. There was a store near the Cushman's store you resurrected...a few doors east perhaps, that was called the Candy Pantry. I remember their selling solid chocolate lollypops stuck on popsicle sticks. Almost no one remembers it. I wonder if a picture of that exists. Also, in a generational fast-forward, my son was one of the firefighters at the blaze.
