"Vell, da ya vant it or not? Der's pipples vaiting!" I wasn't aware of 47th when I lived in NY, but when I moved to D.C. a (Jewish) friend of mine told me about this great place in NY he called Photo Chews - 47th St! :-) Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: "Jim Shulman" <jshul@comcast.net> Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2007 16:52:20 To:"'Leica Users Group'" <lug@leica-users.org> Subject: RE: [Leica] About Photo Arsenal on eBay I remember them all from my misspent adolescence.

They were on the "Diamond Street" right across the street from the Jewelry Exchange, between 5th and 6th avenues. I did business with them in the 1950's. I usually dealt with the stores on 32nd Street. Olden, Willoughby, Penn Camera, and Photoshop. Jerry Jim Shulman wrote: > Yes!
