s re-imaged picture was based primarily upon one black and white image and e photo I had taken. The first photo (upper right) was of the elevated 3rd Ave e. Although the Office of War Information claimed that this picture was taken he East 70s, I know that it was actually taken between 88th and 89th Streets 3rd Avenue. When I first saw this image I noticed that there was a vertical re sign with the name "Wankel's." Coincidentally, Mr. Wankel was a patient mine. My office was around the corner on 89th Street. Wankel's Hardware s there from 1896-2022. The "El" is long gone but the building was very ognizable having been painted in red, white, and blue colors. In the below ture notice the vertical silver line. That is, in fact, the side of the sign that was esent in the black and white image.
e woman in the final work was ually a photo that I took while ting the Antiques Garage on th Street. The Garage has closed ce the picture was taken.
