Lamenting the fact that “from the time Minuit swindled the island away from the Weekquaeskeeks (or perhaps the Lenape) New York City has always been about making money and tough s!it about anything else,” Forgotten NY celebrates the accidentally preserved advertising on the sides of buildings that have yet to be torn down to make way for newer, fancier digs. This sign for Masons, for example, is on the side of a building on St. John’s Place in Crown Heights.
