“Red, White and Blue” 1985

Another Kodachrome slide from ’85 which depicts the big gas tank in Queens, or at least I think it does. I was robbed at double gunpoint just a couple of blocks away in ’84…

ROSELAND 1985

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…

Williamsburg 1985

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

The Circle Line 1985

I keep finding old negatives from ’85 which have elements of my childhood. This boat would have been the one I rode on several times. Long gone, I imagine it may have been pre-war, and it left one exposed to the elements much more than the new ships…
