If I could go back in time and buy real estate... sigh

Here’s a website where you can see pictures of New York in the 1940’s.

So cool... I genuinely love how they decided early on to allot so much space for Central Park. I’m sure they didn’t know what Manhattan would become at the time, but at any rate, it’s very nice.

I’ve only been to Manhattan once (for business, right before COVID) and I was in awe at how big Central Park is. I was expecting a tiny park considering the land there is some of the most valuable land in the world. I worked from that park for a day using my iPhone as a hotspot and couldn’t even hear the bustle of NY.

I know it’s not all peaches and cream, but I left Manhattan with good opinions. Very cool pic; thank you for sharing.
