On Sixth Avenue in the Village is C.O. Bigelow Chemists, established 1838, where you can get not only your Rx but the most wonderful perfumes and toiletries. The Washington Square Arch is in one of its holiday windows and a Ferris Wheel is in the other. It brings to mind the last time we saw an actual Ferris Wheel in the Village. Our Lady of Pompeii Church on Carmine Street had a street fair in the 1970s and ’80s with an Eli Wheel that let riders peer into upper story windows. Those were the days! Let us know if you spot any amusement park rides or circuses in holiday windows this season.

Amusing the Zillion 
Wonderful photographs..
And it’s snowing again.
Thank you! Yes I “turned on” the snow, which is provided by WordPress.com. Given the recent temps, it may be the only snow we’ll see for some time.
So magical! And is that the Washington Square arch in the other window? Looks like a Pavilion of Fun !
How very special. Love the observation by you. Bob DeStefano who owns Dreamland Amusements, when his girls were younger, used to put up a real decorated Ferris Wheel in his home front yard here on Long Isalnd for the Christmas season
