Flashmaps: Neighborhoods, Piers and Terminals

Not much has changed since 1972

, at least in terms of what New Yorker's call their neighborhoods.
The "Lower West Side" is Hell's Kitchen and "Lower Broadway" is now the World Trade Center area.
Sutton and Tudor seem to have melted into each other some, and into the Upper East Side.
Yorkville, too. And I've never heard anyone refer to any part of Inwood as Fort George, but this
was printed almost 40 years ago, and I don't get up that ways too often...

Now this is some exciting material. As opposed to the last Flashmap, virtually none of this exists
in today's Manhattan, either spatially or logistically. Except, of course, the likes of Port Aurhority,
the George Washington Bridge

, the Circle Line Sightseeing Cruises

,the 125th Street Metro North
station and the 23rd and 33rd street PATH stations in one form or another...

Missing a neighborhood in Manhattan. Marble Hill was once a part of Manhattan Island but a river realignment project severed it and a fill project attached it to the Bronx. Marble Hill still legally a part of NY county - the only part of Manhattan that isn't an island.

ahh, true. i heard that happened due to a ww1-era harlem river-widening project to assist with industrial/barge traffic (despite the spuyten duyvil bridge's annoyingly low-clearance). i used to row past there every morning of the world at 5:30am on the dot while the tastycake factory's pop-tart and brownie smell made my stomach rumble for breakfast... i love that area, despite the mall that ate up all the cool, creepy abandoned industrial spots there.

"land values highest in the world -- $600 a square foot"

"1/3 of all US clothes manufactured here"--in garment district. Wonder what that number is today?

at the moment, hot manhattan real estate is going for around $6550 per square foot, so a ten or twelvefold change
