Pretty interesting pics! :yeah:

Unfortunately the NYC Department of Records page doesn't seem to cope with the traffic, you can try your luck here: http://www.nyc.gov/html/records/html/gallery/home.shtml

I loved the picture of Kate Smith and Babe Ruth. Kate Smith today still sings God Bless America for the Yankees during the 7th inning stretch, I smiled when I saw that picture.

Love NY or hate it, it is an interesting look at life in one of the most unique cities of the world.:yeah:
