That was Boston.  Where I am now in upstate New York near Binghamton 
(195,000 population for the entire county) the only store that actually 
advertises itself as a photography store doesn't actually sell any 
cameras... none.  When I left here in 1971 it was the area's major photo 
store and carried a pretty complete line of SLR's and lenses.  37 years 
later it has retrenched to a shop about 1/10 its former size and 
subsists on sales of tripods, cases, and photo processing services.

But I probably could find a Nikon or Canon consumer grade DSLR at a 
discount department or electronics store.  Maybe even an E-410 or E-510. 
  I'll have to check the next time I'm out.
