JRG Fashion Cafe
Neighborhood photog Tracy Collins uploaded several satellite photos from Google Maps of the footprint of Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards megaproject, which by his estimates, judging from the state of demolition, date back to August 2008.
We're running one a day. Yesterday we featured a birds-eye view of the east end of the footprint, today we head west for a look at the block where the JRG Fashion Cafe used to stand.
This is a satellite image from Google Maps. I estimate it was taken sometime in August 2008 by the state of demolition on the triangular plot land bounded by 5th, Flatbush and Atlantic Avenues.
It still lists JRG Fashion Cafe and an auto shop, demolished long ago. It also has the wrong location for PC Richard & Son, which is really west of Flatbush Avenue. It would also be demolished for Atlantic Yards.*
