NYC Back When.

NYC Department of Records officially announced the debut of the photo database the other day.  About  870,000 images of New York City and its municipal operations now available to the public on the Internet for the first time.  But good luck.  So many people have checked the site out that is has crashed. 

Heres the link: http://www.nyc.gov/html/records/html/gallery/home.shtml

For now the site is down, but you can check out three of my favorite pics.
