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.
There were several of these signs on this property.
This sculpture grill is perhaps six years old, it has not weathered well. It is in front of a butcher shop.
Most of the houses on this end of Fleet are gone. This is in front of one that remained.
These two fotos are of a stormwater infiltration basin. They are below street level.
