Pell Street In Chinatown, New York City, circa 1960.  I wouldn’t want to parallel-park that huge station wagon on a narrow city street.  Caption on the back is somewhat unenlightened (and ungrammatical), reading:  “Chinatown
New York City – An interesting experience for the visitor is a walk
along Chinatown’s winding streets with its variety
of curio shops, restaurants, Joss houses and Oriental
inhabitants.”

The interior of Elsie’s Diner, the eatery that currently occupies the restaurant portion of Binghamton’s historic bus terminal.  After an uncommonly diligent restoration of the terminal’s art deco facade had restored the building’s appearance to its original glory, someone approved putting a couple of holes through it to mount an ugly electric sign for this diner.  But I’ve eaten here–the food is good and the people are nice so I forgive them.  Kinda  Photo taken earlier this evening.
