New York City has made almost 900,000 historical photos available on their website. I saw some of them on the news and they're fascinating. They have photos of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges under construction, some street scenes with the old pushcarts, just fascinating stuff. However, they proved so fascinating to so many that the website crashed! I just tried it again, and it's still down, but if you want a peek, try it later today.
