The 1936 World Series was another Subway Series, with the Giants up against the Yanks. Interest in the city was so intense that someone—perhaps the owners of Atlas Radio on Cortlandt St., also known as Radio Row?—put up a billboard that was constantly updated to keep those who couldn't stay glued to their sets abreast of the action.

Cortlandt Street, otherwise known as "Radio Row," where hundreds of radio shops compete with each other in demonstrating the loudest and latest speakers in the world, 1927.

Pete Hamill recalled that, as a child, "On Saturday mornings, I used to venture from Brooklyn with my father to Radio Row on Cortlandt Street in Lower Manhattan, where he and hundreds of other New York men moved from stall to stall in search of the elusive tube that would make the radio work again. Later, my brothers went there with him in search of television components. Radio Row was a piece of all our interior maps."
