A History Through Store Fronts

Midday on WNYC | Jan 2, 2018

James and Karla Murray talk about their latest book Store Front II: A History Preserved. They have been photographing New York City since the 1990s, from bodegas, candy shops and record stores, to historical city buildings, landmarks, bars and cafes. They reveal how New York’s mom & pop businesses stand in sharp contrast to the city’s rapidly evolving corporate facade.

James and Karla Murray's storefront photography will be part of the upcoming exhibition at the Brooklyn Historical Society DUMBO, titled Waterfront. The exhibition opens on Thursday, January 18, 2018 and is located at 55 Water Street.

This segment is guest hosted by Arun Venugopal.
