More dregs from the dwindling picture pile on my desk. Maybe I've posted some of these before. I can't be sure. In any case, here's another small selection of sights that can no longer be seen. Click on each to enlarge.
Springing off yesterday's post about the Astor Place cube, here's a nice shot of the open space we used to take for granted. Taken at some point in the `90s.
This loving replication of the cover of London Calling by The Clash formerly graced the wall adjacent to a relatively indistinct bar on the corner of East 10th and First Avenue. The bar's gone on to change hands a couple of time. The mural was painted over eons ago. This was taken probably circa 1999.
Probably from about 2001 or 2002, this is the vacant lot on the corner of 1st and Bowery (adjacent to CBGB and CBGB Canteen). Today's it's a Chase Bank.
This one's tougher to place. This dates back to about `98 or so. It's the rose window of the church that formerly stood on the corner of Sullivan Street, facing the rear of Washington Square Park. This was taken, meanwhile, from Third Street looking north (i.e. behind it). Roughly between Sullivan and Thompson Streets, if I'm correct.
There are still more to come.
