Nothing is sadder than watching a from the 1940 or 50s that features NYC street scenes. Miracle on 34th Street from 1947 is an example.

[Jane Long]

NYC was ONCE the pinnacle of American ingenuity and innovation.

Long gone are those days.

I am one who waxes poetic about the grandeur, of her glory days gone by, of Old New York City....the hustling and bustling streets, factories busy, commerce percolating...Yankee spirit, at it’s finiest.

All of that is but a mere memory, thankfully saved on film.

As I said...elections have consequences.

New York City has been dying for decades. The Jet Age and the expansion of travel, air conditioning and what it offered southern cities changed which cities could offer what New York City could not. The departure of the Dodgers and the baseball Giants were just an early indicator.

The national highway systems in the late 1950s heralded an era that New York City would fail to keep up with.

The Americans with Disabilities Act in the 1980s exposed just how non-compliant and outdated the infrastructure is. Ride the D.C. Metro and then the New York subway system and you'll realize the New York City subway system will never catch up.

New York as a city was able to offer a technological advantage of internet connectivity, especially for stock trading, but that network has long since gone nationwide.

These Democrats played a desperate game; shutting down their economies to force other states to bail them out since they have no will or ability to take part of the economic surge under President Trump since 2016. Fortunately for the rest of the country, it failed miserably and will hasten the inevitable decline of such already ruined cities like New York.

Just a day trip north across the Canadian Border is Old Quebec where you can also visit a place that used to be.
