Forgotten New York

DRURY AVENUE, Arrochar

Drury Avenue is a one-block street between Father Capodanno Boulevard and Ocean Avenue near the South Beach boardwalk in Staten Island. Nothing at all unusual about it, except that the Google Street Views truck, in 2011, found a 1950s-era enamel and metal DRURY AVE sign on one of the lampposts in the classic gold and black Staten Island street sign color scheme. This may be the last of its type on the island.

I hope it’s still there, but the Department of Transportation is relentless about expunging nonstandard signage.
