They would scout new locations by looking for the neighborhoods without new cars parked on the streets. Don't know if it's true but the stores were never in the best neighborhoods.I think there was on Nostrand Ave near Newkirk Avenue, and one or near Columbia Street in Red Hook. 33¢ underwear (1st quality cotton) and 11¢ tennis shoes were dirt cheap even in 1963. Anyone remember any other Brooklyn locations? |
