I remember driving down the west side highway one day and saying “Oh Shit, look at that!” Someone bought a ’65 Vette and placed the stripped beauty on top of that old diner. I never went to the place despite the fact that I liked Doo-Wop more than most people I knew…

The last time I was here, Big Audio Dynamite was playing and I was disappointed by the sound, but I’m not much of an expert in these things…

This old porcelain sign had started to fade from decades of sunlight, but I’m sure the lamp post it was attached to was much older. More info on this can be found at Forgotten New York

One day I dropped someone off at JFK and decided to go to nearby Gateway park and just sit there and wait. British Airways and Air France were the only companies flying Concordes and I knew I might be waiting for a long time. It looked so different, and really was a beautiful bird as it landed…I don’y fly but I would’ve liked to have gone for a ride on that plane. I think a one way ticket to London was at least $5,000 but maybe it was $10k, I forget.

Finally scanned this picture of a “Real” gas station which was still in all its 1950’s glamour. The pumps were still operational and my pal’s car was a 1967 R/S small block Camaro…

To heck with the snow, I found this snap last night which will compliment the B&W version I posted earlier…

It just so happened that these pictures were of two old movie theaters which were being torn down at the same exact time…Sad if you lived on the upper west side when it was a middle class neighborhood…

It has always been common to see a twenty year old Chevrolet on the streets of Manhattan. So why is this anything but common? ©Matt Weber
