Whart: "aka a 'streetcar,' a sort of homely version of the cablecars that still exist in San Francisco)." bahhahhahaha! that's the best description I've heard yet!
I do remember the Appliance Store.
Elevick, I never knew there was another store in Shadyside besides The Listening Post. Experiences at the Listening Post were so bad I never felt a need to go back. Northern Audio is a troubling place as well (to put it mildly). I stopped by there a couple years ago.
