Fares from the past: Take a cab up 1st Avenue in the East Village of 1971

We posted this archival video titled "NYC Taxi Ride up 1st Ave circa 1971" back in February 2011. Dirty Old 1970's New York City posted it on Facebook this morning... so we thought we'd revisit it as well... the ride starts just past East Houston Street north to East 14th Street. What do you recognize?

First posted this last Feb. 27 ... given yesterday's item on the First Avenue of 1997... thought it might be nice to repost this now...
