Urban morphology: The Store Front.
:
An East Village store metamorphosing from a cast iron store front that was once incarnated as a barber shop and chances are is soon to be another coffee shop. The old style of store front still prevalent in the village (east and west) are slowly being replaced by makeovers.

Woeful. The demise of old NYC, especially the LES, store fronts replaced with fake chrome and glass fronts abound ... and will never be replaced. Gone! Nada. Bye-Bye!
Think of Paris and Amsterdam where the quality of the past is equal to if not better than the ideal "replacement" ... and that is thin ersatz "chrome" and glass? Boo! Citywide "BOO!"
