One end of Fleet Avenue is a bridge over the interstate, and on the bridge the last few years there have been several national flags. To-day, they were all down. They do take a beating from the wind. [click 2013] I do not remember seeing an Ukrainian, Pan-African, or Puerto Rican flag before, those groups were not resident before, a couple of them may not have much or any presence now.
This sign has been refurbished from a different location. It used to read 'Polish Village' and had an illustration of a couple in 19th century dress, and was on East 71st (i think). This area was called Newburgh, in the late 1970s a group began calling it 'Slavic Village',
Karma passed this by.
This sculpture grill is perhaps six years old, it has not weathered well. It is in front of a butcher shop.
