Nice try?
Does weird shit come up when you look this up?
But I specifically need images from the Meat Packing District. I need them to be a good size - probably stock photo or a Library of Congress type of thing, I mean blow it up to the size of a wall!

Cool photo! Wrong city unfortunately. I'm a little unsure about wikimedia or flickr commons although that might be an option - but so far it's a collection of images from the early 1900's so not sure any will capture that.

Surprisingly the Library of Congress did not have jack shit for the Meat Packing District.
