This fire escape is on the back of the old Advance/Rumely building in the West Bottoms. The link above is to a photograph of this same alley in 1951, after the big flood.
And this is the same alley as of last year’s haunted house season.
I was poking around in the alley on Sunday and liked the look of the fire escape, therefore, you see it above.
This is a different fire escape, sort of in the Crossroads district, which was looking particularly golden and promising near sundown on Saturday afternoon.
I have a set on Flickr called “look up,” and if I haven’t added these two already, I will very, very soon.
