The heartbreaking reality of Rite Aid's former Photo Department
The last vestige of the Photo Department. Replaced by a display of beer and toilet paper. Discarded on East Fifth Street. It just wants to process film. Dream over.

Presentations: history of social revolt around Tompkins Square Park
[Tompkins Square Riot of 1874 via Wikipedia]
From the EVG inbox...
World War 4 Report editor Bill Weinberg, in his role as neighborhood organic historian on New York's Lower East Side, will speak Saturday Sept. 7 at the Tompkins Square Library on the history of social revolt around the legendary Tompkins Square Park. Highlights will include the 1857 unemployed riots, the 1863 draft riots, the 1874 depression riots, the 1877 rally in support of the national railroad strike, the city's destruction of the park to convert it into a drill ground for state militia, and the successful neighborhood campaign for the Park's restoration in the 1880s. The presentation will conclude with a discussion of how this cycle continued into the 20th century, with the riots 1967, 1988 and 1991.
