New York is a city of the things unnoticed until it's too late.The faded wall advertisement that one day gets covered up by billboards, the odd dimly lit bar that closes to make way for a health food store, the shoeshine stand that suddenly disappears.
That vanishing world is documented in the blog Lost City, (lostnewyorkcity.blogspot.com) a Web site that is part archaeology of New York and part screed against rapacious developers and the politicians who enable them.
Its author is a freelance writer, who requests anonymity for fear of upsetting editors or sources with his screeds against the "new" New York, but who agreed to talk to amNewYork as long as we used his "nom de blogosphere," "Brooks of Sheffield."
