I have a blog jerrypritikin.blogspot.com and search the archives for stories and images pertaining to the Castro, in the 1970's. This coming Pride Month and July, I'll be exhibiting over 40 images of that era at Chicago's Gage Gallery...Jerry Pritikinhttp://jerrypritikin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141703.post-70589596427111464492010-02-16T12:56:05.583-08:002010-02-16T12:56:05.583-08:00There is a unique collection of images, made into ...There is a unique collection of images, made into plaques located just a little more than a block away... At Harvey Milk Plaza/ Castro @ Market Street. I am proud to be one of the photographers to have his image of Harvey there.It is often forgot, that Harvey Milk,had to leave 575 Castro Street, and moved to another location at Market and Castro when his greedy Landlord, Paul Langley... raised his rent by many hundreds of dollars... the same Landlord, who raised the rent of the "Elephant Walk" Bar at 18th & Castro from $6,000 to 12,000 a month, forcing them out of business... and guess what? Langley opened his own bar there and had the chutzpah to name it"Harvey's"! Thanks to Randy Shilts' book "The Mayor of Castro Street", and the "MILK" movie, most people are now aware of Harvey... his spirit NOW lives beyond the Castro.Jerry Pritikinhttp://jerrypritiki.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
