The City Throwbacks

Nice gallery I found of the city in Aug/Sept of 1967. Notice the difference in the streets, people, clothing, lifestyles. You can also see the beautiful Singer building in all her glory.

1967

priceless

the JFK building looked like from the future back in those days
Just amazing to look back at that time, the people the cars and all make it look far away, but the buildings make it look like it was just yesterday
