Since it is officially the start of Fall, we are in the mood for freshly picked apples 🍎🍏and thought of this fruit & vegetable stand in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the Bronx, John J. Lee Fruits & Vegetables.

We love the #handpainted sign with its cornucopia of various fruits 🍌 🍍🍇 even though the lower part of the #signage has seen better days. #Analog photo from 2001 appears in our book “Store Front: The Disappearing Face of New York.”
