“…postcards celebrate America…They also confirm the vigor
of this country’s often anonymous grass-roots art forms and
the importance of popular culture to so-called high art.”   
 
~February 6, 2009 New York Times review of a
Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard exhibition

Join vintage postcard collector Michael V. Susi, author of Columbia University and Morningside Heights and The Upper West Side as he shares his images of the lost structures of the Upper West Side. Though a relatively young neighborhood, the Upper West Side has endured many heartbreaking losses over decades of development and redevelopment; among the most remarkable of these have been the lost and threatened
sanctuaries.
