79th and Broadway, yesterday, 2015 |
That building on the corner was a Woolworth's, not a Filene's (recently) or a Designer Shoe Warehouse. The billiard parlor was there for a while, then it moved around the corner, and I don't know that there's a pool hall anywhere any more.
I didn't get the angle on the photo quite right, because I had to get out of the middle of the street. Also wanted a shot of the double-length buses they have now, but it was Sunday, and the damn thing never came. For more old pix of NYC, check out this site.
Yep, I remember it well from '67 and on. My cloisonne class with Robert Kulick was on the opposite corner.
ReplyDeleteAnd then we lived on 103 and CPW, which was even worse. . .
ReplyDeleteMuch worse.
ReplyDeleteI miss the old buses. But not riding them, just seeing them!
