These are great ghost building photos. I've been collecting photos like this for a while -- I love when you can see where the gabled roofs and chimneys were once upon a time. Most of the ghosts get covered up eventually.

I have lived in New York City since 1988 and earn my bread as a writer. I began this blog in January 2006. Beyond that, don't be so nosy.

One of the old book jackets lining the walls of Chumley's. Eternal Shame on Bloomberg, the City Fathers, and the powers that be that this cultural landmark has STILL not been saved and reopened.
