Slow news day here at STC.com. Sometimes I feel like my beat is Houston Street which I walk the length of everyday. I try to keep you all informed on the changes that occur on that thoroughfare in lower Manhattan. Two bits to report:
One, the photo inspiring junk/furniture/sign store on the NE corner of Elizabeth and Houston (next to Tom and Jerry’s) has close and moved all the stuff away. Every amateur photographer to ever to step into the EV had spent at least one day there capturing images of the strange hodge-podge of sinks and chairs behind the barb-wired chain link fence. I myself took this shot.
Two, the massive condo buildings going up across from the Angelika are almost done. Today’s shot shows the water tanks have been installed on top. I thought it was interesting that even on brand new buildings they install the old-style wooden tanks. It makes a view of the NYC roof tops more timeless.
