Скачать или смотреть 1991 Tribeca and Civic Center streets, subways, stores, offices, pedestrians

Twenty years ago. March of 1991 walking around (upper) downtown Manhattan, when David Dinkins was mayor and the flag flew proudly from plastic swizzle sticks as we supported our troops by asking God to Bless America. The junk stores full of civil servants next to cheap food joints were in full swing. At 40 Worth Street, like almost all office buildings, you could walk right in and take pics from the hallway windows. In the neighborhood, if you needed some cordage and twine wholesale, your needs could be met. Lots of black official plate Chrysler K cars scooting around in this video. Sushi, latte, greenways, and homeland were not words used by everyday people. And the obligatory World Trade Center towers shot is included. Ben Katchor's Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer cartoon - http://www.katchor.com/ - helped us interpret the unique position that upper Downtown held in keeping yesterworld alive.
