I’m in love with this photo of the Chicago and Northwestern rail locomotive shop taken by Jack Delano. Look at the sparks coming from the guy working near the bottom left of the image. Nice! :)
Gentrification on West 28th Street and 7th Avenue
October 12, 2008 @ 2:14 pm
A couple of months ago, I posted a photo of the sign that was hidden behind the old Ranch 1 restaurant at the corner of 28th Street and 7th Avenue in Manhattan. It was a beautiful aged sign for a place called the Hickory House Coffee Shop. The signage was intact and exposed after Ranch 1 moved out of the location, leaving the corner lot empty for several months.
Just recently, a T-Mobile store has opened up in that location and the new T-Mobile sign is less than aesthetically pleasing. I mean, I guess it really doesn’t matter much since nothing on this block matches anything else. But compared to the old Hickory House signage, this T-Mobile sign just seems so…bland. There you have it though, proof that the neighborhood is moving on up.
This dog owns the store

Haha, this made me laugh really hard. This dog really does look like it’s out to do business! [via]
