Several years ago, you posted a picture of my father’s “shop” Pump and Ice Machine, Inc, in Cleveland Ohio. My son Joshua Kudlaty drove by there Sunday [as they] were headed to a Cleveland Indians game, and decided to stop by and see “Grandpa’s shop.” Property is now out of the family, and it looks like may be headed for the wrecking ball. sigh. Yes, fading. Place is now abandoned. Sigh. But he got this picture -the back view. I thought you might like to see it. – Kathi Waite

In the process of deconstructing my mother Willy Jump’s residence of over 30 years, of which she no longer has any recollection, I snapped these two images as I looked over her seventeenth floor veranda at JFK- a locus for much of our shared memories and dreams.

Was taking a leisurely drive across Avenue Z with my buddy Vlad Iorsh and he pointed this now aging relic from the 70s. A Dom DeLuise cameo too!

A grocery store on Broadway between 103rd and 104th street in front of a subway entrance closed recently, and construction workers stripped off the sign in front to reveal the name of a bygone delicatessen and sandwich shop. At first glance, it looks like it was called “Bruder’s,” but the B is actually from another sign underneath the sandwich shop’s. The “ders” or “des” appears to be intact, but the first letter in the name is tough to decipher. An H? A U? – West Side Rag
