Shopping in Jerusalem

This is a Jerusalem landmark.

People come here from all over the world, including Israel, to buy sandals and other shoes. I'm pretty sure that I bought my first Israeli shoes here. They were a sort of tan colored corduroy, which I wore on Yom Kippur, when I was a student in Machon Greenberg. Yes, that was a long time ago.

Styles have changed, as have popular shoemakers and some of the staff, but I don't think anything else has changed here in the almost forty years I've known the store.

Can anybody guess its name? Or at least the location?
