In the Village, on 8th Street. You'd pass it by if you weren't expressly looking for it. It's one of those small, unflashy businesses that quietly endures over the decades.
My aunt lived in that building for many years, paying 90$ a month for rent... when I would stay with her, I always spent a few minutes looking longly at the key and key ring display (still) in the window...
She worked across the street, at her brother-in-law's Hallmark store, right next to the "foundation" store (that's girdles) -- god, I miss her, that card store, and PosterMat, too...
