Thanks for sharing those with us. I kind of expected to see the twin towers in one of those pics. The New York sky line was a thing of beauty when the towers stood.

The bridge construction was an amazing feat.

I caught a documentary one night on some channel about the construction of the Hoover Dam. It's was mind blowing. I've been there twice but never took the tour inside. I wanted to on my last trip to Las Vegas but it my son's 21st birthday and he and his friends wanted to get back to the strip and look at hookers. :shock: :roll: :lol: :lol:

I remember seeing so many of those sights your son wanted to see at that age and sure enough they were much better to behold than a dam interior. :P :P :P :P :P

Thanks so much for the memories. A New Yorker remains a New Yorker no matter where s/he lives.
The old subway stations were works of art. I once came across photos of them and, although I have Googled, have not been able to locate them again. Any tips?
The swimming pool in my neighborhood in Brooklyn was three blocks long. There was also a diving pool.
Many times I walked over the Queensboro Bridge when I wasn't in a hurry to get home after work.
Downtown Manhattan and, in particular, Delancy Street was a shoppers haven.
Some lovely memories of Kissena Park - but never in the winter.
I recall some of those "trolly car" diners.
Enjoyed the "Automat" for lunch every day.

Awesome all except those high up with no safety equipment doing painting or working on bridges and other buildings.

Fascinating..I looked at the google map of the street and other than more color to the bdlgs it really still looked much the same..Other than the dressing attire of the people...
Great to see, it sure sends your mind to wondering what life then was to now :?: :?:
