93rd St Between Lexington Ave and 3rd Ave

In the interest of making my job as difficult and costly as possible, today's photos were shot on film.

Like many of the streets up in this area, this stretch of 93rd is almost all residential except for the small neighborhood businesses on the avenue corners. The best one can hope for in this neighborhood are to find interesting architectural details. There's practically no street art or any thing resembling it, so I have to resort to admiring the infrastructure.

This being a moderately high-end neighborhood, there's no shortage of "don't do this" signs, which are always fun to look at.  I particularly liked the clean up after your dog sign – that's some pretty intense Helvetica.

In your picture of a building with the #188, I lived in the apt building over thirty years ago after moving
from Third Avenue. That apt building was torn down and made into garden apartments at 188. Right next door was 188A east 93rd street. I loved living in the city.
