Posted by Dan on Thu Apr 9 14:05:02 2009, in response to Old New York., posted by 67th Avenue on Thu Apr 9 04:05:58 2009. Some other old and not so old NYC stores, etc.EJ Korvettes - Had a great record department in the 1970s. They sold everything at one time, even large appliances. I used to shop at the Bay Parkway location. Korvettes gone by 1980/81. Is that a Kmart now? Martin's - Fine clothes. Located on Fulton Street in Brooklyn. Gone by 1981. Crazy Eddie - I remember his first little store on Kings Highway. For a guy who always had a bad reputation he did well for a long time until the law caught up with him. Newmark & Lewis - Not a bad place to buy TVs and VCRs but like most regional electronic chains coudln't compete with the big box outfits like Best Buy. Lafayette Radio - Based in Long Island. The Brooklyn store was in a crummy location on Bedford Avenue near Snyder(?) Avenue. Lafayette brand stuff lasted forever. I use Lafayette 2X speakers in my basement. Around 1982 Circuit City bought them out and closed the NYC area stores. Circuit City itself is now history. Trader Horn - Another electronic chain, entered the NYC market around 1984. Out of business around 1995. Orange Julius - Are they gone too? IIRC they were only in Manhattan. A hot dog and hamburger place like Nedicks. LH Martin - Discount stores, poorly run. Cheap merchandise. Gone around 1981. They had a location on Newkirk Avenue near the Brighton line. TSS Stores - Another cheapo discount place, also gone in early 1980s. Any others????????? |
