Greenwich Village, 12th Street Between University Place and Fifth Avenue

Back to the beginning of yesterday's walk, which started downtown because I was early for a doctor's appointment so I took a few shots on 12th Street to kill some time.

A few doors down from Dr. Dempsey's office is the venerable Cinema Village, one of the important movie theaters in New York. Follow the link for some history. It makes me nostalgic to think of the movie theaters in the 80s, when I moved here. Damn, New York was a movie town. I remember reading at that time that if you didn't go to the movies that much, you should immediately give up your apartment so that someone who did could live here.
