Also, SoHo (south of Houston Street) was not the hot spot it has become in recent years. There were many vacant or rundown buildings.

Or did some of them manage to live off their art? It must have been the dream of many writers, musicians and other creative artists to withdraw from the harsh commercial world outside into their passion.helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792877540911251690noreply@blogger.com
