The twins as seen from Brooklyn. By the 1970s shipping traffic had moved to the container port at Newark yet there was still general cargo going out and coming in. Somebody's getting some new Chevy pickups... The twins from Jersey City. Battery Park City was still in the planning stage as was the Trade Center's Vista Hotel... View of the twins from the Empire State Building... View of midtown...

Grave Intentions

author: Peter Puleo : Brooklyn, NY

Want to own the "little drummer boy" and the man who made the "forsythia" the official flower of Brooklyn? Well now here is your chance! The 13 acres of historic Canarsie Cemetery in Eastern Brooklyn are on the market once again from its keeper of 40 years, the city of New York. On record the cemetery dates to 1838 although it may be older as it originally was located behind the Canarsie Methodist church located on E.92st and Church Ln. The present cemetery is...

Flashmaps: Main Arteries into New York City & Important Telephone Numbers

author: Peter : New York, NY

I've gotta admit, I'm a sucker for those colors and lines Although we've got 3-1-1 now, I kind of wish some of those "Recorded Information" lines still worked. Anyway, I tried a few of the numbers just for fun... Suicide Prevention was someone's mobile voicemail box. Stock Market Prices was a fax machine, World Series was a dead number and Time of Day was a recording explaining that I had reached a non-working number belonging to the US Government...

Southern Comfort Church Offering

author: Peter : New York, NY

From the cameraphone files... This is the scene at the liquor store on Fulton street that I stop at sometimes on my commute home. The photo is blurry because the old, stern Korean woman who always mans the till was yelling at me for trying to take a photo of it. While she was getting my change together, she was muttering at me to add a little something to the Church Offering... Neighborly charity or a guilt-tax...

New York and Atlantic Railway?

author: Peter : Queens, NY

After several hours of riding my bike along the freight rails in Glendale, Queens, I began looking for an easy exit from the elevated rail-bed back down to street level. The gravel was getting increasingly rough and daylight was fading. I was excited to find this stash of locomotives hidden behind the bend of the only service road leading away from the tracks. I was doubly curious, as I had never even heard of the New York and Atlantic Railway....

York Minster Environs

author: Jamie : York, UK

I don't contribute much photographically speaking these days. But I was in York this past weekend, and It occurred to me that there are 1000s of photos of New York on citynoise, but I've never seen anything from... umm... Old York. I guess you can call it Old York. It's pretty damn old (Founded in AD 71) York Minster en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_Minster. Like most Cathedrals of it's time, it's been burned down, otherwise destroyed and rebuilt roughly seven million times, but there has been a place of worship on this site in...
