This is a site I've linked to before, but Shorpy is worth visiting regularly. Now, some of their wonderful old photos are linked to actual locations in New York via Google Maps. Check it out here. Above: Big man in tavern 1908.
About the views expressed in this blog: I try to remain free-thinking, open-minded, and sensible. If I get a letter in the mail defending the civil rights of a prison inmate who wants to write a book about how he killed somebody, I don't throw the letter in the garbage. I put it in the recycle box because why chop down another tree.
