Living in the Past
Some of the ghosts of radio manufacturers still haunt Google Maps.
I started trying to map out the original streets from New York's Radio Row -- Cortlandt, Dey, Liberty, etc. I ended up finding a lot of buildings around the country that used to house radio manufacturers. I created a Google MyMaps page to hold them all. You can find a KMZ at

You'll find Hallicrafters, ElectroVoice, Heathkit, and more. I threw in some lines for Radio Row for good measure.
Thanks to Street Cities - Free Mapping and Street View Tools for the street view control.

Hello Tom Busch,
ReplyDeleteI find Radio Row interesting and would love to know where you were able to find the audio interview of Bill Schneck, son of Harry L. Schneck who opened a radio store within Radio Row. The url on your huffduffer page does not link to the actual source.
