New York 107 Years Ago, Wow! by revontuli(f): 5:34pm On Oct 13, 2018 |
Here is a trip to the past -a trip through New York City in 1911. Video shows the daily life, commuters, horse carriages, trams and vintage cars on the streets of New York. The film has survived in remarkable condition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ucu9al-yWU 4 Likes |

You know the mist interesting thing ? These buildings are still intact and well maintained but we don't have that culture here. Landlord to renovate house, war. Just take a look at the house at obalende. Those where built post 1960. But looking like war ravaged idlib district of Syria. 4 Likes |

BedLam: Those are yesterday's things, I've seen the 2000 year old great old Roman structures, bridges, aqueducts, sewer tunnel. They are still in use today. 1500 year old Byzantine cisterns survived underground with no maintenance at all. Egyptian pyramids have been standing for thousands of years. 3 Likes |

Interesting! I notice more people were walking than driving during that era. I guess owning a car might have been a luxury during those times. 1 Like |

Beautyaddy: Cars were still a novelty and not very common. There is a good number of horse carriages in the video. |

Which means in the next 100yrs @this pace Nigeria might not get to where The US is now in development. |
