I *never* post to the LUG but this really hit home (being a life-long New
Yorker). To add to the list (all were in Manhattan):

Executive Photo
Olden Camera
47th Street Photo
Cambridge Camera (good riddance!)
Garden Camera
Wall Street Camera
Sharp Photo
Rechovos Camera
Competitive Camera
Bi-Rite Camera
Profoto (not sure of the name/spelling; was on the block with Spiratone and,
I believe, Willoughby)

I'm sure I'll think of a few others.
