Stephen Harmon has so many wonderful photos of Upper West Siders that he took in the 80’s (and other decades). He’s shared a few more with us below. (See if you can find the historic P&G Bar).

The old man sitting with a big beard looks like David Letterman in retirement.

Nice pics, but pictures of those people could have been from almost anywhere in the 1980s. More pics of the buildings and stores that are and aren’t still around would’ve been more interesting to me.

The guy in the first picture looks like a cross between Abe Beame and Liberace.
