Looking through windows in 1974--the glorious Gordon Novelty Shop, a cobbler shop where "old shoes are like old friends," the strange objects in the window of beauty supply store.

There are 23 photos here (and another bunch from the early 1980s). Chris wishes there were more, as he writes, "I guess I should have spent even more time documenting the city in those days, especially the little storefronts which are almost all gone now."

That second photo of the mannequin heads is nightmare fodder. And so excellent. :)
]Great collection of photos!
These photos remind me of those in the very nice book "New York in the Sixties". http://www.amazon.com/New-York-Sixties-Klaus-Lehnartz/dp/0486236749/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header
These were taken a few years later, but carry the same look.
Wow, those Ellis Island pictures are incredible.
