"ultimately, Halted is the last of a dying breed"
NIce reporting. Leeds, the oldest of the bunch (by far) is still open
in the backyard of the New York Times, in Brooklyn. Fair Radio in Lima is still going strong for 60 some
years.
I used to get their catalogs, might even have one or more kicking around here
someplace.
And there are smaller places, barely on the radar.
I really miss having had access to bunches of places like that in the NYC area
when I was growing up. :-(
