Sights of the 80's

This ought to make for a nice companion post to that earlier post. Here, check out photographer aquaman6's collection of shots of downtown Manhattan, the East Village and Coney Island from the 1980s. Included come some memory-jogging shots of long-since vanished locales like Downtown Beirut, the Lone Star Café (replete with giant, rooftop iguana) and the St. Mark's Cinema. A distant reminder of the East Village's distant punk rock past, you can see an old Rock Hotel flyer for a D.O.A. show posted on a stop-light box. Great stuff.
