Bobert, it IS the Strand Bookstore at 12th & Broadway, just down the street from Union Square on 14th. The Strand is THEE flea market of books outside the store in price ranges from free to a few dollars. Pay for your books inside.

And I do recall listening to WABC 770 AM in their glory days. Herb Oscar Anderson who signed on came from big rocker WDGY in Minneapolis, which was a 1130 AM, on the same frequency as WNEW. So WDGY's 12 tower directional pattern was beamed north at night. WABC's competition was WMCA at 570 AM. If you take Liberty Airport (I still call it Newark) into the city and to through the tunnel. Before that keep you eyes peeled to your right and you will see WMCA's three towers that are surrounded by water for good conductivity. WMCA how has a religious format.

We all listened to Jean Shepherd on WOR at night in the barracks. He had some great Army Signal Corps days stories.

Sandy, we love the little area below and to the right of the BB in Brooklyn. There's an old brick Foundling Home building there. You can get a classic bridge shot two places: either there or on the Watchtower Publications hill.
