Great photos. There's a couple towards the bottom where there are similar colour modern cars in the same spots as there are old cars in the old photos. I wonder if he waited around or just got lucky. It really works anyway.

I loved living there, but it's partly because I always end up half hating the place and half loving it! It's a real city of contradictions but never, ever dull!

this is the corner of the block i live on, as it was in 1946. if the shot were 100 feet to the right, you would see my apt building. the furniture store with the double-barrelled german name was replaced by another furniture store with another double-barrelled german name, which only closed this year, and is being replaced by a boozhy storefront gym of the sort which have sprung up like mushrooms in shit over the past three or four years. remarkably, all of these buildings remain, though there is now a highrise in the space past the building at the left edge. the el was torn down in 1955, before my time.
the next stop north, 89th street. the bldg with the vegetable stand out front is still there, all the rest have gone.
