Why does this shot belong here? (And no, it's not the graffiti on the upper right of the building)
This shouldn't be too hard for some of a certain age... Or those with good visual memories.
Put the guesses in the comments.
March 14, 2008 - Time to put the 58 potential viewers of this since Tuesday out of their misery (if anyone was truly miserable that is) - It's 96 St. Mark's Place, New York City - Also known as the cover of Led Zeppelin's "Physical Graffiti" (with the top story removed by some old fashioned, non-digital photography tricks) It was also featured in the Rolling Stones video, "Waiting On a Friend". The street itself has been home to James Fenimore Cooper, W.H. Auden, Leon Trotsky, Lenny Bruce, and Abbie Hoffman over the past 200 or so years.
From a graffiti perspective, number 51 was occupied by "51X", the art gallery that brought Jean-Michel Basquiat and graffiti to mainstream acclaim.
Not bad for a little street in the East Village...
