We've had a few items lately about 1991. (Such as this one.) Billy Leroy passed along the above photo from 1991 ... The future Billy's Antiques was called Manhattan Castle and Props .. as Billy noted in the photo, it was a time when cope were making frequent arrests in the middle of East Houston just west of the Bowery... and the MTA apparently didn't care if you sold MTA signs...

that guy probably just crawled out of that open hatch to the underground. guys used to come out of there all the time. the "mole people" i guess.
I hope Billy's never closes,it is the Coolest Store in N.Y.C.
For just a moment, I thought that was a photo of "Gas Station" (2B)
I wish someone would post some pictures of Gas Station (2B). I've looked all over buy have found very little documentation of it. I wish I would have taken pictures of it back then.
