Fun City Week V


I wonder what the number of this building is?  I love walking around the city just looking for photographs.  I was walking over to the subway from the last gallery we visited, and walked by this scene.  I have known about this building and walked past it and the "9" on the sidewalk, since the building was built in 1974.  It is a very cool thing to see that giant "9" in the middle of the sidewalk.  The building is, strangely enough, "9 West 57th Street."  The number is fabricated out of half-inch steel plate and weighs three tons.

I guess they don’t have to worry about someone stealing their sign! It sure is a great way to show off their business address as it stands out so prominently. Betsey
