Past, Over: Madonna on Ludlow

This week on that Gawker thing, a look back to life on Ludlow Street in the gay 90's.  All at the convergence point of Madonna, bodegas, and Dominican boys.  For this piece a quick trip with the camera was needed to see if my memory was true, that Madonna's proposed new Kaballah center was on the site of the bodega where my Tropical Fantasy's were found.  Turns out that it was not, and that the former bodega is now an organic food shop.  Meanwhile, Max Fish, Pink Pony and Las Venus are safe and sound where they were almost a decade past. 
Enjoy.  Or hate, or, be indignant.  All good.
