Something old, something new on 32nd Street...Here we see the old Gimbels skybridge which linked two buildings of the former rival to Macy's. Gimbels department store no longer exists but the skybridge remains.
Of course, it seems no NYC area could be complete these days without a new luxury condo (or two), like the tall building on the left. "Live Greater", indeed.

That photo is amazing. I've never been to New York, and this shot gives me the feeling of being right there on the street. I can almost imagine how tall the buildings are, and how much shade they cast, by the shadows in the lower left corner. Very nice!
I have to agree with GeekMom - that's a great shot! NYC is on my shortlist of Places to See for 2008. This pic might just have pushed it up even higher.
The caption really gives a lot of information that draws you into the picture. Great shot and great description!
I LOVE your pictures, all of them! :)
I love this picture! What is that big neon-y sign on the left...it looks like it says something about 99 cents.
I love skybridges so your photo was a nice surprise. I hope someone else is occupying the building so the skybridge is not a waste.
That's a great piece.
Are you doiung any gallery shows?
i can never see one of your photos with out thinking there is a story with every one of them...thanks
I'm not a big fan of that neighborhood, except for Ktown...but I love that thing.
It's a cool thing, like a piece of jewelry, that not everyone notices. You're apt to be more focused on the street mayhem.
I lived most of my life in NYC , and I can tell you it always amazed me going into the Gimbels Dept Store, The people ,crowds and seeing That crossover bridge from the street level.those were wonderful memories I will always treasure gimbels closed I think in 1986, but it will never be forgotten and the many other dept stores in the area that also closed (E.J.Korvettes, S.Klein, A&S, F.W. Woolworth) to name a few
