<p>Yeah, my Grandfather would tell me stories. He also was one of the first in the Electrical Union Local #3. He use to run wire through the gas lines that were used for lighting. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Great pics, keep 'em coming.</p>

There was a show on TV recently that showed hundreds of old NYC archive pics usually over an industrial music track.&nbsp; NYC1 was the channel?&nbsp; Great show except for the music which never seemed to fit with the theme of turn of the century NYC.

As a former resident I will speak to the awesomeness that is <a href="http://www.forgotten-ny.com/">www.forgotten-ny.com</a>, but I am sure most of you already know about it.

<p><font size="2">Damned shame to see nice pictures warp the thread.</font></p><p><font size="2">This reminds me of the old postcards I collect. Oh, I'm not serious about it, indeed a lot of the ones I buy are as mundane as can be.</font></p><p><font size="2">Years ago on one f my first trips to Paris, I saw one of those cheesy yellow postcards with Greetings From Sunny Florida! written over a map of the state and little icons at the various tourist sites.</font></p><p><font size="2">Ever since then when I travel, I take a pile of postcards and send them from wherever I am. I never send a postcard from the place I am visiting.</font></p><p><font size="2">That's just how I roll......</font></p><p><font size="2"></font></p><p><font size="2"></font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font size="2"></font></p>
