Forgotten NY www.forgotten-ny.com



8/29. Perhaps anticipating the great changes that would befall the Bowery in the late 2000s and early 2010s, I walked the route from Chinatown to Cooper Square in the winter of 2005. Some of the scenes depicted are no longer standing -- such as "McGurk's Suicide Hall" shown on the title card.
8/22. For this week's "summer rerun" page, I have never run a ForgottenSlice as a Monday feature before but I couldn't resist this one. While preparing ForgottenSlice pages for Wordpress, from the oldest to the newest, I found this item I wrote in 2007 concerning when Borough Park, Brooklyn was briefly a NYC rock mecca. Borough Park? Believe it.
