No car talk today.

This is a day to remember. To remember all victims of last year. The innocent in the airplanes. The office people. The nameless foreign workers. The fire men. And all the families and friends involved. In remembrance of all those we show you a few places with early NY photos. Not of the Twin Towers or anything connected with the happenings of last year. Just wellknown New York landmarks. Pictures from another era. Great old pictures that show that the face of this city may change, but that it's character will stay. The beginning: a 1653 skyline (www.poging.nl) of the Big Aple, then still with the name New Amsterdam. A very early photo showing another skyline (allposters.com). A view on Chrysler building (art.com). Top-down from the same Chrysler building (posternow.com). Flatiron Building in 1937 (art.com). The worldfamous 1932 photo 'Lunch On A Skyscraper' (1stoppostershop.com). And then this grand tour through the Big Apple guided by J. Lileks and his collection of vintage NY postcards. We wish you all a quiet day.
