Previously posted another image of this wall entitled Bread (on Sutphin Blvd) but have since identified a possible name of the business. This pentimento also has the words “Castle” and “Beach” peeking through. Any leads on this, please comment.

Did you know that the core of golf balls are made with gutta percha, the same material used to fill root canals (endodontic therapy)? Red maples are not as exotic. They should not be confused with sugar maples which produce the fabulous pancake syrup. Aren’t trees great? You can ruin your teeth and then rebuild them with tree sap!

If you look out your window and see a pizza parlor, or you have a view of a bridge or some other famous landmark, you have a view of where the World Trade Center used to be, you have a view into other people’s windows, or you have a view of buildings being renovated, then we are looking to photograph you and your view. Basically, we are looking for all types of people and views that describe the old and the new New York, and the ever changing skyline. If you live in Manhattan, Queens, New Jersey, Brooklyn, the Bronx, or Staten Island, and want to be a part of this photography project, please contact us at newyorkviews@gmail.com with a jpg of you and your view today! You will receive a print for your participation.

My buddy Julian Seery Gude, great great grandson of advertising pioneer OJ Gude, turned me on to this blog. Great vintage photos. Above are Vincenzo, 15 years old, and brother Angelo, 11 years old, baking bread for their father at 174 Salem Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. February 1, 1917

Archer Avenue off Sutphin Blvd. Fletcher’s Castoria is one of the most prolific and lasting fading ads in the NYC area. Originally formulated as a childrens’ laxative by the Centaur Company, the slogans often read – “Fletcher’s Castoria – Made Especially for Children.”
