about

Radio Town is dedicated to the area where the World Trade Center once stood. Previous to being built (pre-1970s), the area was called RADIO TOWN or RADIO ROW. There were a bunch of radio stores there....cool right?

New York City's Radio Row, which existed from 1921 to 1966, was a warehouse district on the Lower West Side of Manhattan, New York City. Major firms that started there include Arrow Electronics, Avnet (founded by Charles Avnet in 1921), and Schweber Electronics.

The first of many radio-related stores was City Radio, opened in 1921 by Harry Schneck on Cortlandt Street, which became the central axis of a several-block area of electronics stores.

Written by Brian Jay Cline and performed by JOHNNY PUNISH and MARCY ELLE, this stuff rocks out alternative rock style. Enjoy!

lyrics

We used to walk down every street moving to the beat inside our heads, our heads.
The skyscrapers were looking down to shade our way and follow us around, downtown.
Memories were fading fast, portraits of a checkered past hearts wound up in the lost and found

in a place called Radio Town
a place called Radio Town
sad to hear you won’t be coming a-round, oh yeah

World was ours to keep no one else could wake us from our sleep, much too deep
Thought the days would never end now I know I’ll never see your face, again

Cause you went your way I went mine we grow older we might find that now and then we still might hear the sound
from the streets of Radio Town
the streets of Radio town
so sad to hear you won’t be coming ‘round, oh yeah

my friends all good things must come to an end
I can honestly say I would never ever trade a day
from the past such a shame they never last with a smile
sublime with you we're frozen in time, immmmeee... oh

We used to walk down every street moving to the beat inside our heads, our heads
Skyscrapers were looking down to shade our way and follow us around, downtown
I cried the day it all came down no innocence to be found until the day we die we’ll both be bound

to the streets of Radio Town
the streets of Radio Town
sad to know you won’t be coming round

the streets of Radio Town
this used to be our home town
the streets of Radio Town
the streets of Radio Town
