The original punk rocker

Still going strong, though.

Among the first public housing projects, the Vladeck Houses

State of the art in 1940.

Where there's glass…

There's art.

Baxter Street, once Five Points' baddest

The worst of the worst back in the day.

Looks like it's gonna eat the bridge

The two bridges neighborhood--and one large tower.

Steroids

Who let this Sluggo in?

Lady divers

They're there, just look with an open mind.

Downtown, yonder

The borderland between the Lower East Side and FiDi.

Public housing dominates the Lower East Side

And LaGuardia's name is everywhere.

Yes, visit

Let's not.

LaGuardia public bath house

Back in the day, keeping clean was hard.

A New York City and American first

Public housing began here and at First Houses in the 30s.

A survivor

Not many left from the 19th century around here any more.

Henry Street Settlement throws a curve

All up to date at Henry Street.

Fighting the good fight

Bringing rich and poor together.

Still going strong

It casts a wider net these days.

Man's pretty good friend

Such a good boy…

Queen of the garden

Bow before her majesty.

Windows

Wavey brick style, bricks win.

Hanging by a thread

The old story.
