New York's Iconic, and Vanishing, Storefronts

The Leonard Lopate Show | Dec 18, 2015

James and Karla Murray have been photographing the streets of New York City since the 1990s.

From bodegas and record stores to the Stonewall Inn and The Pink Pussycat, the Murrays show the contrast between New York's iconic small businesses and the city's rapidly evolving corporate facade.
