Hats.
May 4, 2015 § 3 Comments
To see a hat shop in New York City is unusual. Drugstores, banks and Starbucks are on every corner and Duane Reade’s savvy real estate strategies turned them into one of the most successful businesses here. Not able to afford the high rents, too many mom and pop shops have closed, but on Columbus Ave. there is a small hat shop that sells Kangol hats. The shop has been there for 13 years. Sunday I was passing by and took a few pictures. There was a lull in customers which gave the salesman Louis and I a chance to reminisce about old New York. Louis was a child in the 1960’s and told me his favorite memories were hanging out with his grandmother in Brooklyn where he grew up. She would take him to Woolworths and he remembered a board game he loved that she bought him there called “Which Witch”.

My father was married 3 times. The rumor is that the first was to help a Mexican Princess get her papers.

Another Mystery Slide.

This slide is one of a few taken on the same day by my dad. I have no idea who the people are or where it is. Maybe on Long Island somewhere? She’s so hip and timeless with her cool white glasses and flip flops.

The Pump With A Certain Bow.
April 23, 2015 § 5 Comments
Among the family slides I found one of a shoe and wonder if it’s the pump my grandfather told me about as a child.
Then I created a little pump with a certain bow on it…and that’s what kept us busy…Well that little shoe, forget now what the name… we had a name for it…And I kept on creating new things. – Ben Benjamin
