199 & 201 Henry Street
In 1980, photographers Brian Rose and Edward Fausty conducted a photo survey of derelict NYC, particularly the Lower East Side. This image is of 199 & 201 Henry Street, with a 1967 Chrysler Town & Country wagon at the curb.
According to a recent comment on FB, Apartment No. 3 at No. 199 Henry Street is now a 1 bedroom / 1 bath and rents for $2,600 / month.

Happy New Year’s Eve 2025 – End of Year Playlist
The end of a long year deserves a playlist to bring in the new one, so here’s a compilation of tunes that tugged on my earballs in 2025. Each set is in chronological order by date of recording.
Set 1 – January, February, March & April
Set 2 – May, June, July & August
Set 3 – September, October, November & December
I omitted seasonal tunes from the Halloween and Christmas playlists. Last year’s playlist (2024) is here, and the 2023 EoY list is here.
And one more thing:
May You Have a Happy & Prosperous New Year!
