Before there were area codes, there was Maxim Radio, et al.
Soon, some cheap monstrosity will obscure this wall.

Awesome spatial memory trip. Long live the 4th dimension!

I am absolutely in love with this sort of remnant of days gone by. I always take shots of old ads and names that have been painted on the sides of brick buildings. It is a time warp to the days before big commercial billboards started to dominate everything, including the architecture of the buildings on top of which many billboards sit. Long live white paint and brick walls!

i remember masim's on chambers street, as a matter of fact from cedar street at washington to church street to chambers was litterally an electronics street fair, every store had radio components laid out on the sidewalks and you could put together a working radio when walking from chambers down to cedar, all the quaint stores were eventually torn down, all the row houses were torn down, all the bars with people;s stories of old manhattan are gone, the 5 cent beer, the fruit market on greenwich street and cortland streets, the x-boxers, the gangsters sitting with a bottle on old wire chairs, the dames in two peice suits, gloves and hats, the cobblestone streets, the elevated west side highway was all cobblestone road, the ferries at west and liberty, the old terminal with it's winding stairways on church street, higbies department store, sims, mom and pop's coffee shops called the grease pits. all gone when they built the WTC and now that's gone.

Peter: this is a classic, ggp. i love it!

My father owned Maxim Radio, located at 127 Chambers Street. I am writing a screenplay about this era and would love to hear from anyone that remembers RADIO ROW. You may e-mail me at milessongs@gmail.com
