Back in September, James and Karla Murray mounted a show at the Brooklyn Historical Society of their photographs of mom-and-pop storefronts throughout Kings county. Now they've published a stunning book of their photographic documentation across all five boroughs. Besides just powerful pictures, the Murrays interview the proprietors of these solo stores about their dying profession, and how they persevere through threats from the encroaching big-boxes. Tonight, expect to hear these tales aloud, as well as some real NYC history; the reading includes a slide-show presentation of the Murrays' photographs.
