Nice pic! 

That is, of course, Grand Army Plaza in the foreground and Central Park stretching off to the left.

The second of the Tennesse class Battleships, commissioned in 1921, here she is transiting the South Pacific in 1936. She was hit by two Japanese torpedoes during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, a date which is of infamy.

Damme, that's a lot of guns!

I love this pic of 5th Avenue’s original traffic lights.  I’m a little confused by this one, tho, as it didn’t seem to have been placed at an intersection.  The other intersections in Manhattan were coordinated by traffic cops.  Imagine directing traffic at 2am in a winter storm. 

Manhattan was just as busy in 1923 as it is a hundred and one years later.

Man, those are some crowded busses!  I wonder if the traffic light is to stop traffic for pedestrians to cross?

Man honors his grandfather with this photo of the 1930's. I thought that toy the Hula Hoop came out in the 1950's. This one is made of metal, not plastic like the Wahmo! version.

From the 1920's, the decade my parents were born, Flappers dancing the Charleston. I remember my maternal grandma would dance it once in a while when I was young back in the 1960's.

In 1906, the San Andreas fault caused the San Francisco earthquake, and this is the aftermath.

World War 1 Trench warfare. What amazes me right now is that in present day Ukraine War, the Russians are using the same tactics that they did in World War 1, and they have suffered over 670,000 dead and wounded since February of 2022.

It's cold outside in 1900's New York.
