There are a couple of great candy stores in B'game. Preston's on B'way is the classic. Powell's is doing a nice business just south of B'game Avenue. But the most intriguing one in town doesn't have any sugary treats. It's the Candy Store across from the tennis courts in Washington Park and is filled with the best-of-the-best collectible cars. The club does rent out the facility for events, but after 20+ years in town, last night was my first visit. As the website notes:
The elegant Spanish style building was designed in 1928 as a Packard Dealership for Earl C. Anthony.
And it houses several Packards to this day along with Ferraris, Jags and a gorgeous Duesenberg. Here's a view of the center aisle. Notice how the truss work reflects the design of time.

Truly a gem of B'game.
