K’s Ghost City:

Summary

Anyone who has lived in New York for any time soon becomes aware of “Ghost Sites,” places too soon relegated to memory. As part of City Lore’s Place Matters project and the Census of Places that Matter, we struggle with how to think about and address vanishing sites, especially during this COVID-19 era. Our longtime friend, writer Kathryn Adisman has a unique take on the subject, and we invited her to contribute to City Lore’s guest blog for us, which we share here with Voices, focusing, in part, on Bleecker Street in the West Village.
