Better yet, I remember when they took up seven floors of an ancient
building on G Street, with stuff piled everywhere. If you were willing to
dig, you could find old bolts of wonderful stuff with old wonderful prices
on them, which clearly had not been touched for years.

And Joy Trims was still around...SIGH I still have a few leftovers
from the last big buy from them.
And yes the old G Street was well worth the trip. I know it's heresy
but the new ones are just not as wonderful as the old one with the
rickety elevator and the great piles of wonderful stuffs...
And Minnesota Fabrics had real remnants and Dannaman's in Newark had
great bolts of Buddhist Orange silk for $1 a yard...which overdyed so
well as well as other great ends.
SIGH a moment of silence
