Sad that two NYC institudions, music and flowers have been surplanted by the modern technological age and the need for more hotels and housing spaces. Oh, well.

From older photos I've found of Tin Pan Alley they most resemble the raised split level store front. I recommend watching the documentary "Soundtrack of the Century" that has some great clips of the street in its heyday. Also, the original producers star, Zero Mostel, owned the red brick building across the street from the ones you photographed. After he died his widow sold it. The official tin pan alley plaque is located between broadway and fifth on the south side of the street.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-13258980631653480952008-02-14T06:52:00.000-08:002008-02-14T06:52:00.000-08:00Sorta like what happened to New Orleans.
