This is pretty fun. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Shorpy (www.shorpy.com) it’s an awesome website (or RSS feed as I use it) that is constantly publishing wonderful high-resolution photos dating to about 100 years ago. Today they put up a photo of a street in New York City and then linked to the present-day Google Street-view .

Cool site, thanks. The photo made me think of the Lower East Side Tenement Museum — have you ever been? Highly recommend for NYC history buffs.
Coolness – I’ll definitely visit next time I’m in NYC!
