Related: About this forumSo I was in NYC and I was walking by the 'Physical Graffiti' buildings in NYC
As a Led Zeppelin fan I love visiting St Mark's Place, which there are two buildings used for the cover the the Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti album. I was just in NYC and was doing my morning walk (I do about 3 miles 4-5 times a week) and opted to walk over to St Marks and back to SoHo, where I was staying. And I happened to notice that sign in the left building.
Anyhow, I thought you Hillary fans would appreciate this.
Mind you, I'm team Democrat supporter in the end but wanted to share this with the group!

"We walked around the city for a few weeks looking for the right building. I had come up [with] a concept for the band based on the tenement, people living there and moving in and out. The original album featured the building with the windows cut out on the cover and various sleeves that could be placed under the cover, filling the windows with the album title, track information or liner notes."[13]

One of the best rock albums ever made! "Kashmir" -say no more!
I had no idea that was a building in NYC.
When this album came out, we didn't have the internet, you know. It was Ford or Carter...
