Retail

• At the corner of Strauss and Yafo, go into Maayan Stub (http://jerusalemblog.blogspot.com/2006/10/street-of-prophets.html ). Climb the stairs. Under the tile roof, there is another floor.
• Small, poorly-lit but well-staffed, this is retail as it was.
• It was the only place where Michael could find a light, zip-up, water repellent jacket -- utilitarian and no more trendy than the store itself.
• HaMashbir (HeKhadash) LaTsarkhan at the top of King George is a contemporary department store.
• Both are full of customers.
• Anchors.
