Wallet Card at Longacre Copy Center

The Longacre Copy Center was originally located on 57th Street near the Ed Sullivan Theater, where David Letterman began filming his show in 1993. The next year the copy center became famous when Letterman had the store's owner photocopy her face live on the air. However, a few years later CBS bought the building and evicted several tenants, including Longacre. The Copy Center moved a couple of times but never recovered, closing shortly after. This handpainted sign on 38th street was recently revealed after the hardware store sign on top of it was removed.
