M & M Red Hots

Here we are at 212 Baldwin Street at M & M. This is M&M Red Hots. Who's that in the window? Is that you? No? Well the sign says open, so let's go in.

M&M has been around a long time - anybody know how long? Nedra Chapin McElroy (SHS Class of 59) writes, "Indeed it dates back to before the fifties.  It was located across Baldwin Street, I believe, and fell to the wrecker's ball when they built the new bank.  I remember going to the M & M for a hot dog with everything and a chocolate milk with my dad if we were 'overtown', and it was such a treat that even now if I'm in Elmira at lunch time, I can do an instant replay of my childhood by going to the M & M for a hot dog.  The great difference now, of course, is the price--back in the olden days, the hots were 25 cents apiece, or FIVE for a dollar, as I recall...but, you know, they are still delicious!"
