NYC Municipal Archive Photos Now Online

http://gothamist.com/2012/04/24/nyc_municipal_archives_releases_nea.php#photo-1
The Municipal Archive has released 1,000,000 photos out of its huge collection and has posted them online.  I have included the Gothamist link, because the archive site was down yesterday.  But looking at the few in the Gothamist article, there is great stuff there.  In particular, one of a builder in Brooklyn looking at Manhattan as he works on the Manhattan Bridge, and Lucky Luciano's mugshot.  My favorite is the one shown, two girls walking east across 42nd Street in 1890.

Can I just say what a relief to find someone who actually knows what theyre talking about on the internet. You definitely know how to bring an issue to light and make it important. More people need to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant believe youre not more popular because you definitely have the gift.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so
much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is excellent
blog. A fantastic read. I'll definitely be back.

You can certainly see your skills within the work you write.
The world hopes for more passionate writers such as you
who aren't afraid to mention how they believe. Always follow your heart.
