It's taken from 9th st - south with what is now the Firemen's Memorial Garden to the right on the south side of 8th st next to the townhouse (366 East 8th St) which still stands today. Can't believe that was taken less than 20 years ago. I guess my memory is going. I would've guessed these shots were taken in the early 80's-not 1994. The Towers were standing a year after they were first bombed. Just doesn't seem that long ago.

I'm from Manhattan, but unless you actually knew someone in the squats, chances are, you never knew they existed. Until Rudy commandeered them, they never reached the news. I wonder if anyone from anywhere else in the world could understand the feelings involved. A good book on the subject could join the shelf of important NY historical sources.

Living there makes me feel a little more connected to the old New York that I heard so much about before moving here. I know things are changing, but it still feels gritty there.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11971512181223918611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-78404953644332470952013-03-07T09:37:42.651-05:002013-03-07T09:37:42.651-05:00Isn't that lot between C and D where the polic...Isn't that lot between C and D where the police station is now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-81835920119952769712013-03-07T06:57:56.665-05:002013-03-07T06:57:56.665-05:00awesome photos!awesome photos!BBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866163203173440152noreply@blogger.com
