That's why it genuinely "breaks your heart". Here in Europe, London to be exact, we're surrounded every day by buildiings and places that are [i]thousands[/i] of years old, which explains why we can't get too worked up about 50-year-old coffee shops. Indeed, this natural churn (and renewal) of establishments is what actually defines any large city, and none more so than New York.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-85931469082160387872013-07-17T17:12:24.148-04:002013-07-17T17:12:24.148-04:00first time in village was 1960. i got to see real ...first time in village was 1960. i got to see real beatniks & some "gay" people.

Not sure where I bought it, but something tells me it was likely the old Canal St flea market that was in a parking lot on the corner of Greene St. <br /><br />I clearly recall spotting it on a table- buried under a pile of random junk. It was folded up and thickly swaddled in a piece of Saran Wrap with a little round price sticker on the corner. I asked the curmudgeonly old proprietor if I could open it up and look at it, but he said I had to take it "as is". My instincts told me I was holding something precious, so I forked over the $2. Funny, the details the stick in your mind. <br /><br />It occupies a special place in my heart, as a map freak and a NYC history nut- and since my family has been based in the West Village since 1970, it's particularly evocative for me. Every once in a while I unearth it, spread it out, and take a trip back in time- checking the tally as the years pass, noting what's still around and what's disappeared.<br /><br />Always meant to have it framed, and always felt it was something that should be enjoyed by the wider public. Kudos to Tom for making the effort to share it. And many thanks to Jeremiah for the excellent blog.Moiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-55532972427529157632013-07-15T22:44:49.908-04:002013-07-15T22:44:49.908-04:00My parents used to go to the Rienzi's all the ...My parents used to go to the Rienzi's all the time with friends.

After Harold died Gertrude moved the bookstore to two different locations on East 7th Street.
