130 Cedar Street

New York, NY - jack - Sunday, March 26th, 2006 : goo

[previous] :: [next]

the building in the center with the scaffolding is the one i worked in when i first came to work in manhattan. it is still covered from 9/11. the building to the right was bankers trust plaza. it took over two city blocks. the old apartments were torn down to accomodate the 50 story structure. there was a bar on albany street where you could get a glass of beer for a nickel. gone. there was the apartment where edgar allen poe lived while he wrote the raven. gone. my building shows a white object in a window on the 5th floor

, that was where our lockers were. Roy's location was originally a public school and to its left was the original location of the new york post. i started work at 130 cedar street in june of 1960. right out of high school. the elevator had an old new yorker as its operator. he was 85 and still working the lifts. he was born in manhattan in 1875. he told me many stories about the waterfront. i watched them tear down the old city and put up a new city. things change. this next picture (above)is of the old Saint Joseph's Church on cedar street and west street. see the old west side highway.
this last pic shows where cedar street was demolished for the bankers trust building. thats the street where poe lived. bankers trust had a walkway built into the building as an access for the old cedar street. the last two photos i took with my old agfa slr 30mm. i spent 22 years of my life on those streets and i directed traffic during the blackout (thats the one in 66) on that street.

again my daughter and my wife helped me on this, but i think i'm starting to get it. i may just become computer litterate. i always thought that the word litterate meant a person that threw his garbage in the streets. (kidding)

very cool. had a moment of nostalgia for the old west side highway. Looks like you're scanning, too? Anyway, thanks for the tour, and congratulations!

jack: 26th Mar 2006 - 23:17 GMT

of course the person who is sick and throws his garbage in the street is illiterate. and yes i had to scan in those two pics because i took them in 1965 or there about, just as they started tearing down the neighborhood for the towers.

One person in Kangirsujuaq I miss very much is Pere (Father) Dion, the Sulpican priest who runs the Catholic mission there. He is presently in his late 70's and extremely computer literate. He always has the latest technology, and is very willing to help others with computer skills. The only flaw is that he is a Mac afficionado. (Considering the artistic community usually prefers Macs, I just know I will get blasted for this)

jack, if he can do it, so can you. Keep trying, you will learn. Age is irrelevant when you are having fun.

By the way, the article is very interesting, and educational. I always love the "before and after" trips through time. I have a feeling you may have found your niche. I wish the Montreal Gazette would resurrect their "Montreal Then and Now" feature that used to run every weekend.

thx evil, as my years flew by me i realized how much of life changed. in some cases the change was not all that good. so i decided to put the changes together. definitely more to come.
