A #TBT photo that may help to mentally prepare for the coming snow. This shot of Myrtle Avenue was taken by famed photographer William Gedney in 1969 from his apartment above what is now Kum Kau at the corner of Washington & Myrtle.  The winter scene is dominated by the Myrtle Avenue Elevated train, which ran through Fort Greene and Clinton Hill from the 1880’s through the 1960’s, when it was removed.
