I am using one of the small buildings to learn how divided roller shutter used in the north east are best constructed. Looks like they are very common used in bad neighborhoods. They are perfect canvas for weathering and graffiti.
Next thing to try are the awnings (are they made of metal?) colorful painted with lots of advertisement frequently found in NYC.I tried to get some via copy/paste in street view in Brooklyn, Harlem and Bronx but all interesting awnings have a truck, a tree or a streetlamp in front :cry: Do they have a special name better than plain "awning" to get better results in Google searching for images?

ps. In search for the awnings did I scan Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn. I had 30 years ago the habit to take the Atlantic Ave instead of the highway on my frequent trips from mid hudson valley to JFK airport. My wife and my colleagues always felt very uncomfortable on that route. The Atlantic Ave has greatly improved at the west end. There are a lot small neat shops in the old now very well maintained buildings and somewhat more east did they build everything new. 30 years make a difference.
