The place is called Faber's Cyclery. The trouble with the city is over since the real estate and the economy is in the tank around here (and everywhere else). The owner's name is Alex. Really nice guy. He used to have a ton of old bikes and parts stored in a huge lot outside the building for years, but the city got after him and he sold off and destroyed a lot of them. I was just at his place on Superbowl weekend. He'll let people rummage through the parts outside. I picked up a few chainguards, handle bars, wheels, etc, real cheap. He also fixes bikes real cheap. He does it for the hobby and not the money. The city has actually asked him to put on a display of vintage bikes at a local museum this month. He has some nice and rare restored and unrestored bikes inside.
I bought one of the calendars. Really nice and professional calendar. Some of the bikes pictured are the ones that he has hanging inside his building.
Here's a sneak peak...
The whole calendar can be viewed here...

If you can't order directly from him, then I can purchase (with your money) and mail them out to you. I'd like to do a bulk order so I don't have to go there several times. The calendars are $10 each.
