New York''s Radio Row (1921 1966) was a warehouse district on the Lower West Side of Manhattan, New York City. Harry Schneck opened City Radio on Cortlandt Street in 1921, creating Radio Row. Radio Row was torn down in 1966 to make room for the World Trade Center. It held several blocks of electronics stores, which spread out both ways from a central axis along Cortlandt Street. The used radios, war surplus electronics (e.g. ARC-5 radios), junk and parts were piled so high they would spill out onto the street. It was a scrounger''s paradise. According to a business writer, it was also the origin of the electronic component distribution business.
