EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of New York City in the 1930s. Standing proudly on 50th Street, right next to the iconic Roxy Theatre, is a miniature golf course that was all the rage during this era. The craze for mini-golf swept through the city, providing a recreational pursuit that offered both fun and challenge. However, not everyone was thrilled about these whimsical courses popping up across town. Car owners were particularly disgruntled as they felt their precious parking spaces were being taken away by these leisurely greens. This image captures the clash between two worlds - one seeking entertainment and another yearning for convenience. The composition of this landscape-format photograph perfectly encapsulates the essence of this unique sporting phenomenon. With its horizontal frame, we are transported into an era where leisure activities like golfing became intertwined with arts, culture, and entertainment. Preserved meticulously in archival quality, this print allows us to delve into history while appreciating how small yet significant moments shaped our pastimes today. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life, people always find ways to indulge in recreation and create lasting memories.
