Forgotten NY

Forgotten NY is a web site that shows something people don’t pay attention on but we see them a lot in our daily life, and tell us when do it begin and the meaning of it. This site reminds the resident in New York, there are many facilities, services and buildings we use or see everyday maybe facing a worse situation or become extinct. We have to care for them much more.

There are 16 links in forgotten NY. They are lamps, subways and trains, Ads, trolleys, signs, cobblestones, street scenes, you’d never believe you’re in NYC, alleys, necrology, cemeteries, forgotten slices, forgotten tours, forgotten book diary and forgotten stuff. 4 links are about the forgotten NY, like the T-shirt and the activities they held etc. The other 12 links show every corner in NY. Like lamps, we see it everywhere. However, many of us don’t know we have many different style lamp stood on the street over many years. In the subway and train, I found an interest tropic. I like this the most. It is ” the great NY Botanical gardens Train Show”. There are many models of structure in this article. They are well known landmarks, such as Belvedere Castle. It built in 1868 and located the highest natural point in central park. Also, the models were made with glasses or trees. All are looks like true. Other models like Apollo Theater and Brooklyn Bridge are very attractive. In this link, we also see many other trivial parts of subway and train, such as the art in the subway and the building of subway station.

In ads, there are many advertisements of businesses that last over many years, even some advertisement’s age is longer than the products it sells. You always can see it on the wall of buildings. Some sign of trolley also can be found in NY. Many symbols showed in Signs. Also the bricked and cobble stoned streets are the site concerned for. More and more special you can find in this site.

Actually, other links are very funny too. You can spend a whole day on searching it. Every article is come with photo. You can see what the place look like. Then, we don’t have to worry about where to go in holiday. It is because we have more and more choice in Forgotten NY and we can know more about the place we live.
