Remember that classic 1930s service station in the East Village of Des Moines, Iowa, that was saved?

By the way

Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.
