Gramaphone inspiration

Karen here. Was walking down Main Street around King Edward — incidentally, where I grew up — which is sometimes called "Antique Alley" for the huge cluster of antique stores along the strip from 25th to 33rd avenues.

There's one store that's always fascinated me. The name of it is written in pen on the window of the front door. It is overflowing with stuff, unbelievably dusty and completely disorganized. While I lived in the area for 7 formative childhood years, I did not go into it until about 2 months ago.

Which is to say, if you need a blast from the past, taking a stroll in there is highly recommended. I saw this peeking out the window at me on our way to dinner, and thought of us and our railcar.
