Kandy Korner, Hyannis, Cape Cod
Jess took us on kind of a strolling tour down Main Street in Hyannis, telling us where she used to hang out and cruise when she was young and would spend summers at the Cape. After dinner and stopping at the big chair, she took us to Kandy Korner, a place that was and still is a major teen hang-out.
Kandy Korner reminded me a lot of another candy store Jess and I had visited, Economy Candy (on the Lower East Side in NY). Both had every kind of old-timey candy you could think of. At Kandy Korner, though, you just grab a basket and fill it up with whatever individually wrapped candies you wanted. They ranged from about $0.05 – $0.25 per item. At Economy you had to buy whole boxes or packages of things. I think I preferred Kandy Korner because you could try a larger variety of candy and not calorically or monetarily commit to a whole box. Also, Kandy Korner makes a lot of its own homemade candies and has many other novelties.
Update: I bought Mallo Cups at Kandy Korner and noticed the enclosed rebate offer. You only have to save up 500 points to earn a $1 rebate check. One 16-oz package of Mallow Cups will get you 5 points, so you only have to eat 100 packs to earn a buck! I also noticed that the address to send your points in is Altoona, PA, which reminded me of Sean, Altoona’s most famous past resident.
