Remember the Lone Star Cafe? 13th St. & 5th Ave. For a few years they had a giant iguana on their roof, until someone actually bought it and took it to their home…

I remember when this rather large mosque was being built and wonder how the upper east side would have reacted if this was after 9/11….Would it exist or would the outcry have been enough to make them build it elsewhere?
I always marveled at this building on 100th Street and Broadway, till they completely renovated it. It seemed like a building which one might have found in Kansas during the late nineteenth century…
