"Recent photo of 521 site"


This is a composite of two photos I took about 8 years ago, on my first visit to L.I.City in about 50 years. I took two shots of "Where" 521 use to be. In its place is the lower building you see next to the Gotham Ink Factory that you see in all the Water Park Pics. If you look at the address on our old spot it is now 519 47th Avenue. I assume the Ink factory building bought our house, demolished it and added the lower building. 519 was the address of the Ink factory, so now it is treated all as one building. Also you see that they are using 47th Avenue again and not 8th Street. When I was born it was 47th Avenue but some where along the way it was changed to 8th Street and now it is back to 47th Avenue....I guess eveything old is new again....Compare this pic to the old ones and see that not too much has changed....

Did anyone notice Nana & PopPop(my grandparents) sitting in the blue van?

It had to be weird for them to see it change so much..

Great picture
