The air was heavy on New Utrecht - a full blanket of summer. The sight of sober hats and topcoats, of long-sleeved jersey knits & wigs, of high-necked frocks & thick stockings just made me hotter. Only the babies had the freedom of bare limbs. The stores under the elevated tracks were thick with dust, and I felt dust particles seeping through my own skin. At four p.m. the street was lightly travelled. The year? Undetermined.

I love that first sign! It reminds me of the ones that used to be all along Bowery - whimsical images of appliances and food.
Yes, I was so pleased to see it! I think you would enjoy a trip out there.
