In a fantastic video from Vimeo uploader Sally Harkin, an 83-year old Brooklyn native named Estella gives a detailed account of what Crown Heights used to be like when she was a child growing up there.

What's changed is that there are huge buildings where there was nothing before. Where I'm living now there was nothing before. They were all parking lots. There were nothing else, there was no supermarkets, no stores at all. We used to have to go to Greenwich village to go shopping.

Good afternoon! Wishing you a happy Tuesday, July 16th, 2019 from all of us at Viewing NYC!

Here's what the weather looks like in the City right now.

Self-described lover of signs, travel, books, style, vintage, and design Drew Walker recently visited New York City and spent some time documenting some of the vintage signs and historic storefronts we have sprinkled throughout the City. We rounded them all up and present to you this great collection of photographs documenting a New York City look and feel which is rapidly disappearing.
