maybe he means the "used jewelry" kinda pawn shops with glass cases and
dressed up sales help, not just the jewish cousins all wearing old
tshirts and dirty white high top gym shoes.

The one on chicago Ave at state would be an example.

Not necessarily "upscale" thought I'm sure there are those, too. But
places like Pawn America that are cleaner, better lit, and don't have
that air of total scuzz about them. And I'm guessing higher prices,
too.
