Dear Rudy,

         Further corroboration: my father-in-law, a native Brooklynite who
is visiting us at the moment, remembers "next store" being so common in his
1920s and 30s boyhood that his English teacher at James Madison High felt
compelled to run a drill to get students to write "next door" instead.

Best,
Bob
