Men's Store - Manhattan Avenue

These were taken over a year ago at the terminus of Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint. Miss Heather had sent me her own snaps of these first two walls and I featured them in early March 2008. I’ve finally found the files in which they were residing.  The top ad is an ad for a Men’s Clothing Store on Walker Street. See the Park Slope version of the same ad.
