A view toward the Williamsburg Bridge circa 1913
Was poking around Shorpy.com when I found this photo... Summer 1913. "Bird's eye view of N.Y.C. from roof of Consolidated Gas Building." George Grantham Bain Collection.
It's looking to the south east... if you click on the image, then you can see some familar landmarks...such as Tompkins Square Park and the two old steeples at St. Brigid's...I keep staring at it and finding something different...

Something strange about this ConEd Building photo...
Right. No dorms or other high rises around it... Anyway, I always appreciate the archival items that EV Grieve reader Mykola (Mick) Dementiuk finds and sends along...such as this shot of the ConEd building via 1957 (from Life magazine).
And this rooftop shot in the EV of Steve McQueen and Natalie Wood from 1963's "Love With The Proper Stranger."

ConEd repairs treacherous sidewalk
Near 130 First Ave. and St. Mark's Place. Just five days after a woman fell and smashed her face last Friday evening.

The accident waiting to happen happened
ConEd has been doing some work on First Avenue near St. Mark's Place.
With the metal plate and uneven surface, you can't help but think someone could take a nasty fall on this...
Well, unfortunately, such an accident happened early Friday evening. A woman tripped on the plate and plopped down. She was not injured. However, a woman walking directly behind her tried to stop, but got tangled up and fell. She smashed her face on the sidewalk.
Several people stopped to help. A chair was produced for her. She leaned back in the chair with a handkerchief covering her bloodied nose. Someone called for an ambulance. Someone called the woman's husband. Photos were taken of the uneven surface. Business cards were exchanged. Someone also called 311 and ConEd to complain.
The ambulance arrived and the dazed woman was treated for her injuries.
As of Sunday afternoon, the sidewalk remained as it did at the time of the accident.
