I saw the one on W31st & 7th yesterday and it brought joy to my day
Giuliani was wrongly given full credit for reducing crime in NYC. The biggest factors in the reduced crime rate, actually, were the disappearance of crack (this started before Giuliani took office) and the resurgence of immigration, which had dropped precipitously during the 70s and recovered only modestly in the 80s. A million new New Yorkers arrived in the 1990s, bringing their energy and a newfound stability to many previously dangerous neighborhoods.
There are 50 businesses on this three block strip. All are locally (local to either the neighborhood or the city) owned. Only one is a giant corporate bank. It is also the only one that hasn’t shovelled the sidewalk.
The perfect demonstration of Wall Street’s disinterest in Main Street?
This video is awesome. NYC shot in tilt shift, time lapse video. I love it.
The best thing I’ve watched all week. Put on your headphones and play it full screen.
Beautiful. This is what pulls me back to NYC when I find myself longing for this.
