Candyland - Famous Since 1932

Anne’s mom, Mary Lou, was born in 1932 in Saint Paul, Minnesota, just blocks away from the then newly established Flavo Korn on Wabasha -- renamed Candyland in the late 1940’s. The shop, notably, is still in business today and its sweet scents continue to draw people in person and online.  In the book Candyland in the Twin Cities (Arcadia Publishing, 2014), author Susan Barbieri shares a through-the-years account that includes famous gangsters, Depression-era, popcorn-eating moviegoers, and insight into the success of the business --providing a little flavor of old Saint Paul.
