Speaking of 14th Street and Third Avenue... James and Karla Murray passed along the above shot that they came across in their archives — a mural revealed during the Palladium demolition... the view is looking east on 14th Street ... The Palladium closed in 1999 and was later torn down to make way for the NYU dorm of the same name...

Thanks for posting that. I really miss the Palladium and, more importantly, Julian's upstairs.
Cheers.

That is beautiful.
How did they ever get away with that? Pulling down such a landmark. Rudy sucked. In the same vein, if Bloomberg wants to "make us more like London," then perhaps he should start looking at some of that fine city's basic and defining policies first---before tinkering with things like cycle lanes. Perhaps start with this concept: Don't demolish historic buildings so your classless rich friends can throw up garish rent mills. One gets the sense that if Bloomberg was in fact mayor of London, then he'd likely tear down Nelson's Column to make way for a new fucking Shake Shack. Or perhaps, without a blush of irony, bulldoze the Tate so the brain trust from BMW Guggenheim can have a quick think tank about preservation. Did someone say 2013?
Ah, Fat Al: Julian's! And a beer around the corner at the Dugout.
Fuck the Palladium. It was the original "Academy of Music" (saw some great shows there).
