I tell ya, I don't know which I like the best. That "urinate" made it on to an historical plaque, the sad Hotel w/the ladder, or the transom. Great work.
You know of course that 40 years from now (2049), a young man will be capturing pictures of the mundane signs and architecture that were created TODAY that you now disdain, and he will consider them really cool and superior to his 2049 signage and architecture, and the people who comment on his blog (or whatever will be the communication tool of the future... probably neuron to neuron) will think they are cool too!
Live on Morton and Washington and was walking along the river Saturday with my dad. As I rounded the corner behind One Morton Square I saw a lady squating behind a car on the curb as her boyfriend waited in their SUV. It was 3 pm. Maybe even One Morton Square needs a sign? I love NYC!
I'm wity Virginia there is a tinge of sadness with each post but in some way at least your images are preserving some sort of time online ttime capsule.
I’d have to check with you here. Which is not something I usually do! I enjoy reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to comment!

So did they need to put that on the sign because people couldn't fight the urge to Wee Wee on Weehawken? Sorry I couldn't resist.
Thanks for the photos keep them coming. I can't get enough of NYC!

Those are some very interesting signs. What a place to live!
Fantastic old signs! I enjoy these older more charming neighborhoods.
