This is incredible, i'm at a loss to describe it, it's only 4 minutes 38 seconds long so if you find yourself with a spare 5 minutes i highly recommend it  Panorama of New York in 1905: Spectacularly enhanced and colorized using the latest A.I. technology!https://youtu.be/dCMEwGXkFqo?si=mzq5lELElWTpf20k

It is so cool Jay, not being from New York i'm not sure what i'm looking at most of the time (other than the lack of skyscraper of course), at circa 3:04 could that actually be Times Square in 1905? https://youtu.be/dCMEwGXkFqo?si=0JH5mnutSPGZWzLS&t=184My understanding of where the Times Building is in NYC, it could well be?

Yes, Doddie, that would be Times Square in 1905.  The Times Building was located at #1 Time Square in 1905. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_York_Times_Building"In 1905, the paper moved to One Times Square at 42nd Street and Broadway.[100] The area surrounding the new headquarters was renamed from Longacre Square to Times Square.[99] The Times outgrew the slender Times Tower within a decade and, in 1913, moved into the Times Annex at 229 West 43rd Street.[98]" _________________ stephen boots Microsoft MVP 2004 - 2020 "Life's always an adventure with computers!"

Thanks for that Steve, having stood in Times Square less than 10 years ago i find it mind boggling to see what it used too look like in 1905 in such detail... the pace of change has been staggering, it's easy to forget being a non US citizen that the US is (or was) the 'new world' and modernisation moved very fast

That's interesting Steve. I never even knew that the Times had ever moved. I've never been in New York City and have no interest in going.

What I find interesting is that it never occurred to me that Times Square was named for the NY Times Building that they only briefly occupied. I've passed the current building dozens if not hundreds of times over the last 50 years. My time in NYC is over now that we've moved to Virginia, but I lived less than an hour away from NYC for all of my life prior to this year and spent a whole lot of time there -- college, concerts, dance clubs, Broadway plays, shopping, sightseeing, and even dated a few NYC girlfriends 30 years back(one attended college there and another lived in Queens). _________________ stephen boots Microsoft MVP 2004 - 2020 "Life's always an adventure with computers!"
