Jane Jacobs' New York Neighborhood - Greenwich Village

[Cirrus]

These have been sitting on my hard drive since last fall. Flar's thread about Jane's more recent Toronto neighborhood reminded me to upload them.

When she wrote Death and Life, Jane lived in Greenwich Village on Hudson Street, near the corner of Perry.



She lived in the first of the low buildings on the left. With the brown brick and the blue sign.


555 Hudson Street. The ground floor was a candy shop in Jane's day.


This is what she saw immediately across the street.


The following are just random pictures from the neighborhood. I had very little time when there, so it's not at all a comprehensive tour.





















As I understand it, Nicole Kidman, Martha Stewart and Ralph Lauren live in these towers.


Some other random pictures, taken *from* the neighborhood, but not *of* the neighborhood.
