What's a K&B?
K&B (Katz and Besthoff) was a drug store chain headquartered in New Orleans.
It was a cool drug store. You could even buy big gallon tubs of ice cream there!

k&b also had their own beer. and a diy machine to test vacuum tubes for your hi-fi.
i bought my first flyrod/reel from k&b. another time, a couple cases of piper-heidsieck champagne.
"sears has everything" was hype. k&b and schwegmann's had everything.
