You might remember a series of entries I posted here about the light tunnel at 127 John Street from decades back (specifically here, here, here and here). In a nutshell, it was a novel little flourish in an otherwise banal office building that inadvertantly became the location for many a cool photograph, finding bands like Blondie, Genesis, The Cure, Ace Frehley, Joe Strummer and Kraut (how’s that for an odd line-up?) having their likenesses captured in the atmospheric neon tube.
Well, a fellow blogger behind Radiant Future took the baton from me and ran with it, posting a much more authoritative breakdown of the specifics. Check that out here.
Don’t bother looking for the tunnel itself, though. Turns out it was dismantled in 1997, although I’m shocked it was still there that late into the 90’s.
