Back in the day when I used to ride in my Dad’s taxi, he would point them out and tell me stories that the “Shadow Men” were images of what our bodies would look like if an atomic bomb were to go off. Implying that all that’d be left of us would be these ashed out black images all over the streets of Manhattan – YIKES!
