First!
Looking southeast on Jan. 14, 1936... with St. Brigid's in the background...
And!
Looking northwest from Seventh Street and Avenue B, July 29, 1942
If you look closely on the bottom right of the photo, then you can see someone tagging "yuppies go home" on the entrance way...

Tompkins Square Park of the early 1960s appears in my novella "Variety, the Spice of Life" quite a few times as the characters make their way from Avenue B to the Variety Theater on 13th Street and 3rd Avenue walking up St Marks Place. Available from eXtasy Books or Amazon
I love these old photos. Sigh.
i love old pix of the hood too. it is cool to see how much bigger those trees have gotten in the SE corner corridor...
