OK, now Paul is across the street in RSD’s project involving the former Zakie’s or Sonic Garage Nightclub. This is the view of Cherry Lane. Those are mini-murals of famed artist Lewis Miller on the walls. The large reproduction at left is a Miller rendition of York units boarding trains to go off to fight in the Civil War.
