Records at @electricladystudios, next door to the cottage studio in Greenwich Village where Jimi Hendrix is believed to have lived toward the end of his life. Rob Key, the current occupant, wants to get the Manhattan block named after the rock icon. And he’s not alone. A group of locals on West Eighth Street want to honor the musician and try to help rekindle some of the creative spirit the block once had. Electric Lady Studios has survived and there are still some scrappy, independent stores on West Eighth Street. But the block’s hodgepodge of businesses — upscale restaurants, fast-food places, nail salons, vacant storefronts — lack a cohesive spirit. “The history of New York gets lost sometimes and that’s what this is all about,” Rob said. In 1931, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney established the Whitney Museum of American Art on the block. But even before that, a Bohemian vibe had been sewn by actors like Lillian Gish and John Barrymore, who lived in the Hotel Marlton. By the 1950s, the area was lined with cabarets, including the Bon Soir, which helped give Barbra Streisand her start. There was the Eighth Street Bookshop, a favorite of the Beat writers and poets. But the counterculture character had begun to fade by the 1970s and gave way to crime in the 80s. Visit the link in our profile to read more and to see more pictures by @saranaomiphoto.
