The mention can bring only two reactions, either a confused, rumpled brow for those who never made it to the store with the strange-sounding name or a wide smile as the memories of one of Western New York’s all-time most interesting shops come flooding back.

Before the arm and leg, it was Ziggy & Zon’s that made the Airport Plaza famous with its menagerie of unique and hard-to-find-elswhere stuff.

In the days before the internet, it was one of those places you might go if you really needed it but weren’t sure where to buy it.
