“Baseball’s Been Very Good To Me!” 1989

It’s way too early to make predictions, or is it? The Metsies are suppose to struggle and barely win 80 games and the Yankees are suppose to coast to 92 wins and at least a wildcard slot…I won’t be very surprised if the Mets overachieve and win 85 games, while the Yanks stumble under a thousand pitching changes (LITERALLY) and also win 85 games…

YALE Trucking “West Side Highway” 1988

This old truck was an ad for Yale trucking and was viewable from the old elevated West Side Highway which also was known as the Miller Highway a long long time ago…

“The Night of the Iguana” 1988

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…

Coney Island Policewomen 1988

Once upon a time in New York, mastering the baton twirl was to a cop, like learning to spin a Yo-Yo was to a kid…

“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.
