doesnt nyc have those itnernationally recognisable signs with the hand icons and stuff now as opposed to the "english only" walk and dont walk signs?
cshrem: 31st Mar 2005 - 02:29 GMT
yes they do, I live in NYC. I took one of the old "dont walk" signs when the man was taking them down, and i'm curious to know how much its worth

probably not much, as there are zillions of em, and its only a disused sign after all...
but yeah nyc did switch over to the hand/silhouette format over the past coupla years.

failing that, i need a quality photo of the sign, with the "DONT WALK" part lit up, can anyone help with that?

The Well-Known West Side Market
At the corner of Lorain and West 25th stands the West Side Market, an absolutely beautiful building completed in 1912 and granted Landmark Status in 1973. I have no shots of the outside, but these of the inside capture...
