Another one from the family archives. I see a Chock Full of Nuts, so I'm fairly sure it's NY, but where and when? Note the red/green stoplight and Oldsmobile dealership.

Looking at the cars, I would have to guess around 1950

Mid 60's views from the top of the Empire State Building.

Amazing how building taller and taller can sometimes be less majestic.

Corner of 41st and 5th avenue, looking south.


...and as it was 1960's style.

Just developed a film from a camera I found. It spent over a month in salty water. Pics are around 70s I guess. It is big luck to see anything after so many years without development - image usually disappears.

It is probably NY (the camera was from a guy from NY), can you help me to identify buildings/streets?
