The Boy From New York City

author: Robert : New York, NY

Here is one of my favorite NYC paintings (acrylic on canvas), the Skyline of NYC shown was taken from L.I., Queens.

Last week my boyfriend and I took part in Broken City Lab's Welcome to the Nighbourhood psychogeographical walk. Each group was given an algorithm of randomly generated tasks. Basically we had to walk in a certain direction or for a certain amount of blocks and then take a picture of specific things we had to look out for, such as a boarded up house, a house with a nice yard, two people who might be a couple, or a sculpture at the river, as seen in this picture: "Walk to the campus or sculpture garden (whichever is closer) and take a...

New York City in the 1970s

author: Franny Wentzel : New York City, NY

The twins as seen from Brooklyn. By the 1970s shipping traffic had moved to the container port at Newark yet there was still general cargo going out and coming in. Somebody's getting some new Chevy pickups... The twins from Jersey City. Battery Park City was still in the planning stage as was the Trade Center's Vista Hotel... View of the twins from the Empire State Building... View of midtown...

The Secret Garden: Big City Walls

author: upfromflames : Brooklyn, NY

The Bushwick Linden Block Association Garden AKA, the Secret Garden, found a happy match with Big City Walls and the Younity Coalition, a female urban arts collective that works in communities across Brooklyn and NYC. But their best work (I think) is in Bushwick! www.bigcitywalls.com Alice, co-founder of Younity Madge K-Star: Bushwick girl who is still working to make it better! Mama, founder of Big City Walls. What we have here is clear: Strong women honouring a strong woman, Miss Avellar Hainsley, founder of the Secret Garden! Sorry I could not show everyone and everything in my photos—but the mural is there for...

Flashmaps: Main Arteries into New York City & Important Telephone Numbers

author: Peter : New York, NY

I've gotta admit, I'm a sucker for those colors and lines Although we've got 3-1-1 now, I kind of wish some of those "Recorded Information" lines still worked. Anyway, I tried a few of the numbers just for fun... Suicide Prevention was someone's mobile voicemail box. Stock Market Prices was a fax machine, World Series was a dead number and Time of Day was a recording explaining that I had reached a non-working number belonging to the US Government...

Heart of the City

Rickety City

author: CartLegger : Queens, NY

Looking westward from Halletts Cove, just south of Astoria section of Queens, NY, across from the Lighthouse at the north end of Roosevelt Island Or, as I tried to imagine, the old dock back home... full disclosure: There never was an old dock back home.

Hello City

author: Ivo : Sofia, Bulgaria

Alright, since Sofia (or, if you prefer, Sophia) is so greatly underrepresented I thought of sharing some pics I took on a nice autumnal October day in 2008. We start with some random shots of nice ultra-modern buildings. Christian Rock: Chimneys to Nowhere: Well, this one’s a bit out of sync here, but that guy was doing whatever he was doing just above the next pic.

Here are some photos of the ruins of the long abandon Bartow /City Island Station of the New York, New Haven And Hartford Railroad located in Pelham Bay Park along Amtrak right of way. The station was opened in 1908 and was designed by Cass Gilbert. Pelham Bay Park, Bronx

Flying over the City Back in the Day

author: Franny Wentzel : New York, NY

Coming in from New Jersey looks like we'll be in a holding pattern above the city for a while... Looking straight down at The City... next pass takes us over the park looking south... Passing midtown near Penn Station... ...getting awful close to the ESB... by the last pass crosswinds pushed us Downtown... Our Pan Am jet finally gets a gate around sundown... Images from 1950s/60s encyclopedias and geography books

Vintage Views of Oklahoma City

author: Franny Wentzel : Oklahoma City, OK

Most of these views were taken from old encyclopedias from the 1930s to the 1960s Sharp-eyed viewers will note a missing building in the foreground... This one is from the mid-30s. The three buildings still stand but the one with the oil derrick on top was expanded and remodeled in the 1960s Three from the 1980s picture book of the United States The buildings are taller and there's a few more skyscrapers but it seems like a smaller city somehow...

Former New York City Fire Patrol Houses

author: ntatap : New York, NY

A few years back I decided to go out and photograph the former locations of the New York Fire Patrol past and present. On 15 October 2006 the NY Fire Patrol was disbanded. At one point the Patrol had 7 companies and 3 Salvage Corp units. I was driven to work on this project as tribute to Keith Roma who was a member of the patrol who lost his life on September 11, 2001 during opperations at the World Trade Center. The Patrols primary duty during its existence was to protect property but when saving lives came into the picture...

Utica City Planning Reports - 1948/9

author: Franny Wentzel : Utica, NY

I like books on architecture and City Planning. Found these two in an off-campus college bookstore in central New York state (oddlt enough not in Utica NY). The 1948 report only yielded a cover piccy but the 1949 report had existing conditions pix and project proposals.
