The Projects revisited 2001
welcome signAging sign is at corner of Amsterdam and 64th Street North of 90. |
64th Street PanoramaLooking down 64th street, that old guy is in the picture twice. FYI, since a panorama is a series of pictures, it is possible for someone to walk from one picture into the next, as happened here. |
210 W 64thThese containers are everywhere, not certain what they contain. Aida lived here, used to be a strike zone chalked into the wall, where Dudley and I played against Bressan one day. Eileen SImpson lived in that apartment to the right of the doorway, glad we did not break a window. |
Donaghy's Bldg on 64th StreetThis was meant to be part of the panorama but the containers did not match up. |
63rd St panorama80 Amsterdam is on the right, looking straight back to West End Avenue. |
90 Amsterdam panoramaThis is 90 today, a ramp allows the handicapped to live here. My apt was second floor on the left. Bonnie, Merrele and others lived in 90. Gloria and Iraida lived on third floor on left. |
61st StreetPower Memorial was here. I showed my daughter how far I had to travel to go to high school, 2 blocks. |
80 AmsterdamMy home, how strange to see it again. |
80 closeupThre are now ramps everywhere, the air conditioners are now allowed, windows have changed. Ray lived in that apt on left. first floor. Ivan lived on the second floor above Ray. |
apt 2bSecond floor was home to me, no AC in those days, windows were very different. Trees are new, used to be bushes there. |
64th streetWhere did this school come from? The Bodega and the Chicken Market were on this street. |
The benchesThe containers block the view of the benches. New wood on them, this was our gathering spot. You could always find somebody you knew here. |
