A Bowery and East First Street now and then

Our new friends over at NYC Corners launched their site last month... Per their description:

Whenever possible, we will show side-by-side photos of a particular street corner taken years or decades apart... and that's when the real magic happens.

And here's one of particular interest: the southeast corner of East First Street and the Bowery circa 1942 and today...


Wonder if Blue & Cream will start selling expensive photos of Al's Barber Shop?
