New York City - A 24/7 Kinda Place!

by rmdw - last update: Mar 14, 2005

This beautiful photo was taken by a friend of mine, Kim, on one of her trips to the city - obviously prior to Sept. 11, 2001.

One of my favorite things about NYC is something you can't even see ... but just hear. Every evening, from 10pm to 1am on 770 AM (on the radio) is the absolute BEST radio show I've ever heard on the planet! It features a gentleman named John Batchelor. I often refer to his show as "The Economist of the Airwaves" - very interesting and extremely informative!! You can also listen to it online before you ever get to New York City.
Times Square - Circa 1950's
I find this picture very interesting. Some of the architecture is the same today but the vehicles are sure different! What's wonderful about New York City is that the same frenzied activity existed back then as it does today!

Would you like to see live streaming video of Times Square? Then click here.
The majesty of NYC is truly apparent as soon as you arrive. Everything is big, big, big. I love walking in the city, discovering some new on every block.
Welcome to New York!

Pros:"So much to see, so little time!"
Cons:"Congestion, noise, and high prices"
In A Nutshell:"Frenzied activity, excitement, and fun for everyone!"

 Robert, what a wonderful presentation. Loved "seeing" your lovely Mom again. Your love of architecture is obvious and your humor shines through. Enjoyable, educational, and entertaining.

 Hi, I love your psychadelic Empire State photo :) NYC is great, isn't it? So right about the queues at Empire State too... but worth it for the view I think!! Have a great week, molly.x
