“Frederick Douglass Circle” Harlem 1985

This taxpayer was razed for a high rise and I’m not going to cry about this one. There’s been too many amazing buildings torn down in the name of progress to worry about every single corner. I doubt I ever had a meal in the circle cafeteria, but definitely bought a few packs of smokes at that newsstand…Nostalgia Kills.

“WHITE” Harlem 1988

I wonder how many people’s entire lives were transported in this old moving truck. All sorts of stories if this jalopy could speak…

Considering how many Checker Taxicabs I’ve photographed, this picture may have been the best one yet! If not the best, then possibly the most interesting…

“Religion Gone Bad” Harlem 1988

I wish the days of kooky religion were gone, but these sort of sentiments are still very much alive these days. This sign was painted during the height of the AIDS epidemic and was up on a fence in Harlem for a couple of years. No one dared take it down…

Notice the © sign. Was this worth copyrighting?
