This post is a little late: its last day was Saturday, and yes, I went up there for a last look. I’d wandered through it occasionally over the years: even though I have the construction skills of a drunken chimpanzee, it was fun to imagine what I could put together. I mean, there were stalls that sold RADIO TUBES, for crying out loud.
I took a few photos – along with many others – and wound up buying a microphone cable, because, well, I DID need a microphone cable.
And there’s still little shops in the back alleys – go west and north from the station – if you still crave a DIY taste. Who knows, maybe the stall owners will relocate there.
