From the X-Colorforms/Litebrite generation is my guess. It leaves the sign functional, looks easily scraped off, and it makes me laugh. Appropriately this one is in front of CBGB’s, at Bleecker and Bowery. I’ve not found any more, even though I saw this in City Rag a month ago. More on Wooster Collective – Thundercut

Looking west on Kenmare Street. Orange safety cloth = construction. I can’t keep up with all the changes in the neighborhood. Look at that giant billboard stealing another chunk of sky.

Repairing a backpack with a heavy duty sewing machine. Grand Street between Forsyth and Chrystie Streets in Chinatown. Weather permitting, you can get your shoes repaired here as well. The machine and the fold-up stools, kindly provided for you while waiting for your repairs, all fit in the shopping cart.
