NYC 78 - 83
Patrick Cummins' photos of dirty, old New York City are making the rounds on Facebook, and on Alex's Flaming Pablum, and they're getting everyone excited. Cummins' incredible Flickr set offers a detailed looked at the city in ruins, from Union Square to Coney Island. Don't miss them. Here are just a few.

Dave's was on Grand Street??
ReplyDeletePretty damn fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThe Dave's I remember was at the corner of Canal & Broadway. Used to take the bus down to Chinatown regurlary and could always spot my stop late at night by the big sign.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to have visited New York in those days. The photos conjure up an amazing feeling for a lost time and place.
ReplyDeleteHow the East Village has changed from the 1970s. Here's a series I shot "from the hip" just a few years ago in 2010 at https://www.flickr.com/photos/genefoto/sets/72157624287272905/
ReplyDeleteGreat great great photos. From when Manhattan had juice. -MJ
ReplyDeleteit was friggin magical back then - dirty and dangerous too but it was alive man - electrical current ran through the air and through us. i was in the lower west side in the village by macdougal/bleeker/carmine/etc - wow! feels like it was a movie. i guess nothing gold can stay. i havent been back to ny for over 10 yrs and i dont plan on it.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful photographs of a (now) bygone New York era. Thank you for sharing!
