When it rains old photos, it pours…. M. directed me to a post from last month on Flaming Pablum:

My commute to work takes me right through the heart of TriBeCa every day. I’ve spoken about it here a few times, but when I first started visiting this neighborhood in the late 80s, it was a markedly different scene. The East Village was cool and SoHo was arty, but TriBeCa was just … desolate. It completely captured my imagination.

These days? It’s hard to reconcile that it’s the same neighborhood.

Here are some shots I took in the mid-to-late 90s of various TriBeCa locations. Some look the same. Some don’t.

Blogger Alex said I could run a bunch of the photos, and if you like them, by all means check out his post for more.

P.S. For some odd reason, comments aren’t loading on the site, so you’ll just have to hold it till the glitch gets fixed. UPDATE 1/20: Comments are back up.
