How many of you remember Charlie's first store behind his wife Ruth's beauty parlor in Everett, MA.
I helped him move from there to the A&P that he bought in Malden.

Yes. I remember it. That’s where I started buying trains from Charlie.
I still have on old shipping carton from Charlie when he was in Everett.
My first job at GE was in the Everett plant; I enjoyed dropping in to Charlie's store. I remember my amusement at my first visit, walking through the beauty parlor to reach that tiny counter at the back of the shop.

Yep. Me, too.
For those of us who were deprived of that experience, does anyone have any pics?
Everett was my first visit and first time meeting Charlie when I went down to the store with Eddie G my good friend who owned a train store back then and was picking up more "stock" ----time does fly! That was where it all started.
I remember visiting Charlie's "train store"/beauty parlor in 1979. Bought a like-new 746 Berkshire and a (then) new Penn GG1 from him. I thought this shop was in Revere.
