Store was much larger then they had the first floor and the basement at 821. <br /><br />This blog is astonighingly good to begin with, but it adds a little something special when you come across an entry that mentions a location you remember personally.

It was their original NYC location before they moved up toward 14th street. <br /><br />Once, during a snowstorm, I was standing in the cash-wrap area of the Strand and looked over my shoulder at 821 through the front window. The snowfall was so heavy, there was no modern traffic (human or vehicular) out in the street and I was able to do a little mental time-traveling while gazing at the (then) 80-year old building, imagining I was back in Edwardian-era NYC when it first went up. I realize that sounds weird, but guess you had to be there.SummitCityScribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03748289649240888995noreply@blogger.com
