How To Be a Retronaut has a large gallery of images from Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York, a new book by James and Karla Murray that documents the vanishing golden-age shop signs of New York City, including interviews with the shop owners. The Associated Press review says, “They tell the story of the 20th century in New York, with wisps of the 19th and hints of the 21st.

Stoked to share the cover shot of this weekend’s special edition @nytmag. Spending time in NYC as a climber, I inevitably end up looking towards the most obvious and aesthetic line in the skyline. Never thought I would ever actually get access to climb to the top of the 1 World Trade Center….Here Jamison Walsh, the one safety consultant certified to make the annual inspection on the tower, climbs towards the Crow’s Nest near the top of the 1WTC. See more at the link in my profile and keep your eyes out for the VR piece where you can join us on the climb. @kathyryan1
