Bedford Street Doors

Sherry Felix7 Comments

Bedford Street is in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, NYC. The white door led to the back of the building. Unfortunately, Chumley’s is gone now. I went there many times long ago.

The plain door on W 13 Street has a lovely ceramic floral wreath on it.

Chickadee

I edited this image while Photoshop continues to freeze. I changed the video card driver again as per Adobe’s instructions. Their latest “fix” didn’t work. I continue to test it… This has been going on since January.
