On reading Jim's classic story on "(L.M. Young's Cafe > Royal Cafe > Taylor's Confectionery > Moss - Taylor Confectionery (aka Moss - Taylor Cafe) > Royal Cafe (redux) > White Castle Inn > Cardinal Grill)," and immediate question comes up: What business on the "South Side of the Square," the shopping strip interrupted by Burkesville Street, now occupies what was from 1916 to 1944 "the Coffey Building" - a question that may be answered by someone still living in their 80's, 90's or over 100 today.

In the late spring of 1916, Columbia businessman Lawrence Marvin (L.M.) Young opened "a first-class soda fountain and an ice cream parlor...in the same building that Mr. J.F. Patteson conducts a general store." (The building was owned by J.N. Coffey, Mr. Patteson's father-in-law. At almost the same time Mr. Young started his business, the Parlor Circle Theater moved from its original location to the second floor of the Coffey Building and manager G.R. Reed changed the name to the Paramount Theater.)
