We’re at Warren st/Greenwich st in TriBeCa. Come on by and being your instruments!
Love the quote.
This the Brooklyn Bridge in 1904. Notice that the center lanes were for trolley cars. When it was first built in 1883, trolleys, and even cable cars, were popular modes of transport.
In fact, trolleys ran all over Manhattan until the late 1920s, and it wasn’t until the 1940s and 1950s that Manhattan lost all of it’s elevated trains. Did you know that 2nd, 3rd, and 9th Avenue all sported elevated lines?
BOOM! Now, someone give me a sticker!
