FORGOTTEN BOSTON (beta version) New! CONDENSED POP (new post coming one of these days)
New! FNY ON FLICKR: EAST 2nd STREET, LOWER EAST SIDE



11/13. Saving Long Island City's colonial-era millstones
11/17. A walk on Ridgewood's Catalpa Avenue
11/16. I'll turn today to one of the objects that, in more than one way, led to the creation of Forgotten New York -- the presence of a rare lamppost on a stump of a street that was left over after everything else in the area was razed. The streetlamp has been lovingly restored and put back on Warren Street after the construction of two new buildings where it used to stand.
