I just looked over my past few posts, and boy oh boy are they serious! So I thought today we could do something fun. I’ve uploaded a bunch of photos of SoHo kids (and some grownups) and I thought you all could write in either:
1) identifying the people and/or location in the photo
2) sharing what memories the photo evokes about old SoHo
These are photos that readers have sent in over the years, and they are not in any special order. Please leave comments via the comments window at the bottom of this post, and don’t forget to include the photo number so that we know which photo you are describing.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
PS Please feel free to send me more snapshots at sohomemory@gmail.com and I will post them here!

Hi, Jo. Where are you living these days? I’m up in Morningside Heights but still come down to the Village on Tues and Thurs mornings to go to Coles.

Hello Jo! I guess time travel is what I’m trying to do here! Nice to hear from you!

#6 totally brings back that seminal playgroup to me. What a gang!

Indeed, quite a gang!

Picture 14 of two little boys from the back looking through the cyclone fence are Jay Nanda (left) and Michael Eder.

The fenced area the boys are looking at is was the baseball field and big playground area where Coles gym is. . . Soon Coles, too, will be history.

Yukie, this is a great collection.
May I feature, with credit, image 32 of the former mounds in Washington Square Park on the localecologist blog?
Thank you.

Of course! Please credit The SoHo Memory Project. Thanks.

#22 is David Mancuso, the LOFT dj. Says my friend George Skeltcher.

And he is correct!

#8 Becky Yee @9 o’clock position wearing red, next to her with the big smile (if my bad memory serves me right), “Jenny Pearl of a Girl” and the boy on right standing went by the name, “Chris the Cowboy.”

Christopher the Cowboy was one of my buddies back then!

Hi Barney- Thanks for writing in. I only found your comments today, lost in the mounds of spam. I don’t remember the Mercedes- thanks for including that!
