Join Preservation Greenpoint and author/photographer Frank Jump on a walking tour of the fading ads of Greenpoint. For nearly 20 years, Jump has been documenting the painted ads of New York City as they rapidly disappear. Jump’s book Fading Ads of New York City compiles these photographs to tell the stories of the businesses, places, and people whose lives transpired among them, the story of the city itself. During this walking tour and book-signing, Jump will offer a glimpse into Greenpoint’s commercial advertising history through the neighborhood’s remnant fading ads.
Tour meets at 11:30 a.m. for an introduction and overview, then the group will depart at noon. This tour is free but space is limited, RSVP to info@preservationgreenpoint.org to confirm your reservation.
TOUR MEETS AT SE CORNER OF GREENPOINT AVENUE & FRANKLIN STREET.
