Please allow me to point out a few things in the map (which might be interesting to those visiting NYC in the future).
The "Common" is now the area of City Hall and City Hall Park; the "C" of "Common" sits on Broadway; following Broadway down two blocks from the "C", there is a block with a clear area and a pinkish block within--this is St Paul's Chapel which still stands. It is one of the very few buildings remaining in Manhattan from colonial times and was the staging area for 9-11. Further down Broadway in a similar construct is Trinity Church where Wall St starts.
The "Fresh Water" pond was first drained by a canal ("Canal St.")filled in and became the Five Points area which then was razed and became Foley Sq (the courthouses that you see at the beginning of the old "Law and Order" shows).
Awesome stuff. Thanks for the post, Pharmboy.
Most everywhere else was empty. Too bad it’s full of America-hating liberal Democrats now.
Notice the Brits beating random Patriots. They were incensed about what they thought was Patriot arson. And they might have been right.
The RevWar/Colonial History/General Washington ping list...
Well, although I live in Maryland now, I grew up in Brooklyn and lived in Manhattan for 27 years. What you say is—for the most part—true, you would likely be surprised at how many good conservatives there are in NYC. But in the media, all you see are the lefties.
LOL !! The Old Man: “A million dollars? That aint gonna happen. I can go $250 cash right now.”
That is so cool - thanks for the info, my husband and son will love this
What goes around comes around :-)
Ooops, I forgot. Cool map! :-)
I love that show.
“mmmmm.....I can go.....$275. But that’s it. See, I can only sell it for so much to try and make a little something off it.”
Are there enough members of your ping list to create a club to buy the map? Let’s start out own private collection and museum!

The lowest I can come down is $280.00. begging now, cause the slots are calling.
Well, if one of the Koch brothers was hiding behind a screen name on my ping list it would be easy! If only it were so...

LOL!! As my grandmother might have said: “Such a bargain!”
Rick: “You have to understand, stuff like this sits around for a long long time, I shouldn’t, but I’ll go $275.”
