On the LES, could this circa 1940s faded sign be real--or a leftover from a movie set?

Jeremiah, what do you call that new super rich hood above Canal and below Soho? I mean, it's outrageous: new Euro money, Euro accents everywhere, up scale restaurants (on Broome and Bway?), three high end dog toy stores, Babeland sex toy store, galleries, fresh lofts with grand pianos. Stores that sell I don't know what. Makes stock Soho look like MacDougal Street. Hyperreality of the ugly rich. NoCanChi?
ReplyDeleteNoCanChi--i like it. sounds like No Can Do. NoCanSoHo?

ReplyDeleteWonder if you can link this as a separate tread, is this no place safe?
Thanks

that faded sign is a new thing, definitely not an original and most likely not from a movie set, but maybe something used to promote the tenement museum when it was located on that corner which that jeans place now occupies.
