A few more slides

Here are some more scenes of NYC from the 1950's. I love these photos. I can't believe that I actually took these photos and that they have held up so well for 60 years!  A real tribute to Kodachrome film!  Ektachrome did not stand up very well.

I wish I could put side by side one of these scenes and then one from the same place taken today. That would be really fascinating.
