At 594 Broadway, between Prince and Houston, I believe I am the ONLY Leica dealer in SoHo and you can guess with my grand opening being on 9/5/01, I am paying for the privledge. I also lived in NoHo (across the St. from Tamarkin actually) for 15 years until the rents pushed me out of the city. I'm now living in the East Village...another great place to photography btw. On Sat. I'll be open from about 12-8pm in case you want to visit and chat... bests, rich www.photovillage.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
