Friday

is at the corner of the building at the intersection. Corner barber shop; corner shoe store, etc.

This entire discussion about how a 79-year old might not know the term "corner store" is just further evidence of that Trump's own lived experience is very far removed from that of most Americans. He doesn't drive a car; has likely never pumped gas; has never shopped for groceries; has never prepared food for himself or others; has never done a load of laundry; has never washed dishes; has rarely set foot in a NYC bodega - if ever.
