NPR is broadcasting a show on "Radio Row" today.
This was the 'Fry's' for the tube era, 1945->1965.
It's on on 4:30 for me.
"From the early 1920s through much of the 1960s, Lower
Manhattan was the place to go to buy a radio. A six-block
area around Cortland Street was filled with stores selling
electronics. That was before the city chose that spot for a
major project called the World Trade Center. Monday on
All Things Considered, the Lost and Found Sound Sonic
Memorial Project takes us back to the place once known
as "Radio Row."
