Found our old house in the Bronx. Love knowing I was a kid living there when this picture was taken!

This is freaking trippy. I looked for my building in the 40s and thought I got the street wrong, then I realized they hadn't been built yet!

I wonder if someone can throw all these into an AI program and make a street view type version of this?

A lawyer could tell me it's my fault I don't know the law or how to read legalese in contracts, something he spent years to master. Most people have better or more important things to do than read research papers.

The city did a project to photograph EVERYTHING at that time as part of a property tax assessment. Think they used crappy 110 cartridge cameras. This site just catalogs the city's inscrutable archive in a nice format.

Found the apartment building I grew up in and wow, immediately transported back in a way that looking at that same location in current Google Maps just doesn't do.

just imagine what google street view is archiving now. 20 years from now we will be using it to see the streets/buildings from today.

The 40's are to the 80's what the 80's are in 2022.
