This block looks extremely different today. Back then, you would find E.F. Droop & Sons music store and Stiebel’s.

  2. Circa 1936, a group of us musicians at McKinley Tech High, would go to Droops, buy one record–probably Benny Goodman, and crowd into one the glass enclosed booths and listen over and over, til we were kicked out of the store!! Half of us went on to become professional players in the big bands of that era.
