Jaime Davidovich, painter, video and installation artist, and friend of The SoHo Memory Project passed away in August at the age of 79. Born in Buenos Aries, Davidovich moved to SoHo in 1964.

Artist Peter Reginato writes about how he got to SoHo, and how it's changed over the years—a reminiscence from someone who was here in the beginning and still remains, a very rare breed, indeed!

For a neighborhood that had, aside from one church that was torn down, no houses of worship, no schools to speak of, and few restaurants, SoHo sure had a lot of bars.  And many of them seemed to have been named for the street on which they were located.  Other than THE BAR, i.e. Fanelli's (see my post on Fanelli's here), there was the Spring Street Bar, the Prince Street Bar, the Greene Street Cafe, and, of course, Bob and Kenn's Broome Street Bar.
