east village redux

the east village has long been a melting pot of creative
& interesting people. from a colorful past with an eclectic
community that remains strong it has been a draw card
for many that were in search of a place to fit in and be
inspired.

east village resident michael sean-edwards moved
to the neighborhood from toronto, canada in 1977.
a very different place then to what it is now, edwards
states about some images snapped by avenue d:
"i had never gone that far over before, because I was
kind of scared to go past avenue b, especially with a
camera." some things may have changed but the tales
of a very diverse and interesting part of this great city
survives in these images.
