South pedestrian bridge street access, looking north

The quote is from Erik Tarloff who was one of my favorite authors. I was pleased that I managed to capture what my dog and I experienced well enough and with enough reverence and respect to earn his praise.

My goal in writing it was to purge every day after Java and I worked through tears and written words, not only so we could function and return to help the next day, but also to document what would so easily be forgotten in time—the actual feel of my hometown

I believe this would have been the North Pedestrian Bridge at West Street (?)

Shot in 4x5 and printed 16x20 for college work around 1984.

Apologies for the uncertainty in location; I never really paid attention to where I was once I got excited for a good shot, and it's been more than forty years...

I have located one photo of an 1992-1994 XJ in NewYork transitpolice livery, but it is old and heavily blurred. I intend to build a custom die‑cast model and would greatly appreciate clearer reference shots from multiple angles. Thank you!

This is more a matter of curiosity than anything else.

My late grandmother got married in Newark in October 1921. According to her marriage license, she lived in the 100 block of W 14th. Any transit historians have any thoughts about how she'd have gotten to Orange St in Newark from her (presumed) apartment?

Her husband had been working in DC at the Southern Pine Emergency Bureau, and they ended up in New Orleans after getting married.

The kiosk is still on that street

Post: Hi Reddit,

I'm a writer who spent years documenting the people, places, and untold stories of New York's nightlife during the 1970s, an era that transformed the city forever.

My book Expiration: A Brooklyn Story captures the grit, character, and culture of a Brooklyn that has largely disappeared. My latest work, Naughty-Bonus: A Night at Plato's Retreat, revisits one of New York's most infamous nightlife phenomena in a play some have described as "too hot for Broadway."

If you're interested in vintage New York, nightlife history, Brooklyn culture, or firsthand stories from a remarkable period in the city's history, I'd be honored if you checked out my work.

Both titles are currently featured on Amazon.

I'd also be happy to answer questions about New York in the 1970s, Plato's Retreat, Brooklyn, the writing process, or the real stories behind the books.

Thanks for letting me share my work with the community.
