Remembering Joe Ades, Potato Peeler, Bon Vivant

Joe Ades passed in February of last year. This morning CBS Sunday Morning looked at the double-life of Ades: Street vendor by day, Park Avenue bon vivant by night. His daughter has now taken over his spot. I’d link or [Later: link to print] embed their story, but CBS & Viacom apparently have a 20th century video game going: It’s not available for embed. Or link.

Instead, I link my YouTube video. The CBS producer who did the segment emailed a few weeks back about using my footage in the piece. Alas, at VGA 640×480, it is not “broadcast quality.” Ades is remembered in the NYTimes here and here. A Today Show appearance here.
