Before the collapse.
Also looked like center lines were few and far between. Almost like they just kind of went slow and looked out for what those coming and going were doing.
Back when Fifth Avenue was a two-way street, as it was when I first moved to New York.
That church on the west side of the street might have still been there.
Someone’s suggestion when the streets were being changed to one-way: Make them all one way going north.
I saw a 37 Packard in the mix along with a 39 Buick.
The video is fantastic. The audio track starts grating on me. The same car horn about every 30 seconds in rhythm. But the roads looks so clean. NYC drivers are still about the same, just so many more cars now.
The streets were not clean at all. There were no anti litter laws and folks routinely threw junk in the gutters. I lived there and saw it.
I think that’s how we got the Dodgers.
Hah! That very well could be.
I read it somewhere. probably here
