Address
The books says the shop's address was 1003, but I don't know how much research the author did. The building was constructed with three store fronts. Edgewood Frame Shop currently takes up both 1003 & 1005, using the address of the former, but that doesn't mean TV Sales did. The space at the east end, where the painted ad is, would be 1005. --Lkseitz 10:23, 6 December 2012 (PST)
