Labor Day Guest Fades – Woolworth Ghost Shadow – Astoria, Queens – David Sanders

This was forwarded to me from Forgotten-NYer, Kevin Walsh:
Just took these photos on Ditmars Boulevard at 31st Street, where a Rite Aid closed. Before the Rite Aid was an Eckerd, and before that it was a Genovese Drug. My sister moved into this neighborhood in 1987 when it was a Genovese. At some point prior to that time a Woolworth occupied the space, and the outline of the letters has been exposed by the current renovation, which will make the location into a CVS.
Just thought I would send these along though somebody has probably already done so.
Sincerely,
David Sanders
Labor Day Weekend Guest Fades – Maurice Ice Cream – Avenue H Station, Brooklyn – Valerie Landriscina

Hi Frank,
This is at the Avenue H station on the Q line. The building is on the southbound side of the station. It’s the east-facing wall of 1504 Avenue H building. The MTA removed the corrugated steel partitions during the on-going rehabilitation project. I’m hoping they don’t repaint the wall when they replace the siding. But in case they do, I thought you should add it to the files.
I haven’t been able to find any more information on Maurice’s Ice Cream aside from this: http://www.harringtonhousebedandbreakfast.com/History/ I’m assuming it’s the same company. I would love to know more about it and what the entire ad was for.
Have a good Labor Day weekend.
Best,
Valerie
