700,000 buildings
Between 1939 and 1941, the city photographed every house and building in the five Boroughs. Copies of these unique images are now available for purchase.
sounds good to us. you do have to know the block and lot number (or pay $5 for them to figure it out), and the pictures are $25, but there's gotta be some pretty cool shots in there. anyone know the lot number for Tammany Hall?
elsewhere, it appears that the evening with Bill Murray on April 13th at BAM is now sold out. too bad, but there do appear to be some good shows at the Bowery Ballroom that week and the next. anyone up for the Pernice Brothers ($15)? Blonde Redhead and Secret Machines ($17)? Four Tet ($13)? Tortoise ($16)? GbV ($18)?

"An evening with Bill Murray."
Just an evening?

you can look up lot and block numbers here:

but you should still go to the city archives and look up the building on microfilm to be sure you pay for the right print - they're not exactly cheap.
i bought a print of my apartment building's tax photo for my roommate for christmas.
