Or the Cross Bronx Expressway -- where there were so many burned out and abandoned buildings that they actually put phony "windows" that were plastic or paper or something but looked like windows from the highway -- so that people passing through wouldn't think NYC was as bad as it was. The fake windows sometimes even had little flower pots painted on them!Hahahahahahahaha! I remember those fake windows!!! I almost forgot until you mentioned it!!! They had that in Brooklyn too. It was like wood with a plastic or metal sheething on it that had as you said, a "phony window". Each "window" was different in an abandoned building. Some pf the coverings would have the flower pot picture, some would have venetian blinds, some would have curtains, some would have shades, etc. I almost forgot all about that until you mentioned it! |
