    How many photos does Throwback Thursday’s Steve Harmon have of life on the UWS in the 1970s and 1980s? How does he decide what to photograph, and what’s his favorite image in his voluminous collection? Listen below to his interview with Rag Radio host Claire Davenport, in which Harmon reveals answers to those questions, as well as one about his breakfast.
