Manhattanville 2

Empty spaces in Manhattanville

Bridge in the background is the 1/9 subway line over the valley.

Bus depot is on the right in the background. Tall buildings beyond the Riverside Drive viaduct are across the Hudson in New Jersey.

I took these pictures on weekend mornings. Manhattanville is not a weekend sort of place. Today, Manhattanville west of Broadway is largely auto repair shops, warehouses, a couple of moving and storage places, the Fairway supermarket, a beer distributor, and a few meat markets on 12th Ave. The old Studebaker building houses the Madame Alexander doll factory. There is a bus washing and maintenance facility behind Fairway. There are three or four residential buildings and a couple of churches.
