Forgotten NY

New York is a big city. As we live in here, most people work very hard. Therefore, they don’t have time to observe the change in the city. In people’ mind, the most important thing is how to earn more money. They think the looks in here are same and ordinary every day. They are much comfortable about the New York traffic, street lamps, businesses, parks, sidewalk, etc. however, this website created for many outlooks of New York City. It brings us to explore the different treasures that we never pay attention for in city.

In this website, I am interesting of “18, and I like it.” The reason for why I chose this one, it is because the picture contains of many people. As we can see, in this picture, I believe it is a busy commercial and residential street. I am wondering why someone wants to put up this picture, where is Bensonhurst? Since I had explored the street scenes in here, it is just like a trip visit over there. I see the historical bridge and bridge lamps. I also see the some vintage pain and enameled sign. It is a past and it might destroy today. Even though we could see the different kinds of painting on the door in the everywhere of New York City, we just forget to think about how long those paint made up? Why some people to make that picture? What is the meaning in the picture?

By scrolling down the mouse, I see two churches, one is formal and one is informal. Informal kind of church seem is a small group of residents, but it represent people’ belief in the community. Moreover, I see the yellow warning sign and a furniture store. It is long ago, but I guess who cared that warning sign is part of property in New York. If the webmaster didn’t take that picture, I guess most people just never think about its history value.

After watching the street scenes, I want to look up the different historical constructions in my neighborhood. I don’t want to miss some street scenes that might valuable.
