NYC - LES - Essex Street Market The Essex Street Market began in 1940 as part of an effort by Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia to find a new place for street merchants to do business. At the time, pushcarts and vendors crowded the streets, making it difficult for police and fire vehicles to pass. To ease congetion, LaGuardia created this and several other indoor markets. In the early years, Essex Street Market's identity was shaped by the Lower East Side's Jewish and Italian immigrants. Beyond its function as a shopping destination, the Market also developed into a social environment. When a new Puerto Rican population shifted the neighborhood demographics in the 1950s, the Market grew quickyl. In the 1970s, the Market began to fall out of favor as many customers turned to more convenient supermarkets. After years of being run cooperatively by merchants, a 20-year lease expired in 1986. In 1992, a private developer took over andafter failing to achieve its development vision, handed over control to the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC). In 1995, the NYCEDC commenced a $1.5 million renovation and consolidation. / VFL.Ru — надёжный и быстрый фотохостинг с 2009 года
