Greenwich Village, 12th Street Between Sixth and Seventh Avenues

This is the last shot of this walk, but before we leave Greenwich Village, I want to lament my failure to remember that 11th Street is where the townhouse was that was accidentally blown up in 1970 by the Weathermen, three of whom were killed in the blast. I walked right by it without a clue! Dammit. It's at 18 West 11th Street and I've found pictures of the house that replaced it, so I know I didn't photograph it. Read a good account of it here.

And isn't this a pretty picture in spite of itself?

See map.
