Not really a store, but I remember listening to voice of America on short radio to practice my English.
Many times throughout the day, they would do the news in “special” English, which meant that it was read very slowly, and they used more simple words.

I know, one of the final stores to close was less than a mile from me.
But still, its heyday was decades ago.

Yeah right.
I once read a piece from the 1850s complaining that Greenwich Village will never be the same after the recent gentrification.

The VOA complex is just a couple miles up from my house. I drive by regularly. When growing up it was this huge array array of broadcast antennae, plus the diamond shaped WLW tower. The WLW tower still stands today and the VOA has been made into a museum.
