Re: [PHOTO] Lexington Ave. el

Slight correction, where the El went through those were always CO-OPs. The Housing Projects were further East(Across Classon Ave.) Which the 88th Precinct never let us forget. Looking at the link to the map shows why they called them Rhyerson Towers. Never knew there was a Rhyerson St. I took piano lessons and went to the dentist in Rhyerson Towers.

I concur this is Lafayette Ave and Grand St. looking North towards Pratt. That appears to be the Pratt smoke stack in the background along with the water towers from the factorys along Dekalb Ave. Maybe Edwards or the guy that graduated from Pratt(forgot his handle) can confirm.

Looking at Google Street views I see they built an entire apartment building where the old Dan`s supermarket stood. Wow, time doesn`t stand still for anyone...
