This photo, taken at St. Nicholas & Amsterdam, back in 1982, illustrates perfectly the comments I made in my previous post.

Times indeed change.......

Fishbowl #8473 in the looming shadows of the now-gone (RIP) iconic Twin Towers, 1979.

(When this "vanished New York" photo was snapped, Your's Truly, at the young age of 22, was working only a few minutes from here, on Wall Street)

Here, note that the rear "batwing" panel is blank, and that the rear sign box is empty.......

Broadway & 230th St., 1981.

Note how the word "STOP" in the DELTA batwing (on #8396) ad fits perfectly into the area once occupied by the nearside rear sign box.....
