In the lower left hand corner of this photograph
may be one of the "haggard faces" Cohen referred to
in his description of the neighborhood.

Cohen concluded his introduction to "Hancock Street" by writing, "All of that part of my past is gone now. Sammy's Barber Shop, Caruso's Spaghetti House, Gotlieb's Meat Market, the bars with their garish lights --all have been swept away in the name of urban renewal. Hancock Street is now only a memory for me, an important one that I hope will not fade as the years accumulate."
