Actually, given she was 16 in 1969 (a couple of years younger than me, BTW) I was going to guess
Willoughby's or
Olden over in the Herald Square area. Now THEY were both arrogant SOBs - mainly to distract you from the fact that they were both overpriced.
47th St. Photo was a few years later and you're right they too were SOBs. They later on got into stereo equipment etc. and tried to sell on "price" against the crook
Crazy Eddie. The former went under - the latter went to jail!
Those were the days!
