I HAVE LOADS OF OLD POSTCARDS FROM THE EAST END MAINLY FROM THE NORTH FORK. WHAT I HOPE TO DO IS HAVE THEM WITH ME AND GO THRU THEM TOWN BY TOWN AND RESHOOT AS MANY MODERN DAY CURRENT SHOTS IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE OLD POSTCARDS SHOW. A "THEN AND NOW" SCENARIO. IF I DON'T HAVE A CURRENT MATCHING SHOT NOW, I WILL TRY TO GET IT EVENTUALLY AND POST IT.
HERE ARE SOME SHOTS FROM A FAVORITE EAST END TOWN OF MINE, GREENPORT. EVEN THOUGH I LIVE 32 MILES AWAY ROUND TRIP, I FIND MYSELF GOING THERE ONCE A WEEK SINCE MY MOVE. EITHER TO WALK AROUND, CHECK OUT STORES I LIKE, ORDER SOME GREAT FOOD FROM THE MANY PLACES TO EAT AND TAKE PICTURES OF THIS VERY OLD AND SCENIC TOWN STILL
THRIVING IN AN OLD FASHIONED WAY.
GREENPORT:
FRONT STREET LOOKING EAST:
MAIN STREET LOOKING NORTH & CORNER OF FRONT STREET. CORONET LUNCHEONETTE STILL ON CORNER:
THE WHARF @ CLAUDIO'S DOCK - AFTERMATH OF THE '38 HURRICANE:
THE WHARF BETWEEN CLAUDIO'S AND MITCHELL'S NOW:
THE SHIPYARD JUST EAST OF WHERE PRESTON'S IS NOW - AFTERMATH OF THE '38 HURRICANE:
GENERALLY THE SAME VIEW FROM THE SCULPTURE DOCK:
MITCHELL'S RESTAURANT WAS A CORNERSTONE FOR MANY DECADES CLOSED BY A FIRE IN THE EARLY 80'S:
THIS LOCATION WAS APPROX. WHERE THE GREEN LAWN IS IN FRONT OF THE CAROUSEL JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA!
APPROX THE SAME LOCATION NOW:
