Pabst Blue Ribbon recently created this video retelling the amazing story of how Inwood's John "Chickie" Donohue snuck a few cases of PBR into Vietnam during the war in 1968 to bring beer to his buddies.

At a time when the Vietnam War was at its height, one man, John "Chickie" Donohue, snuck back into the war zone to find his 3 closest friends and buy them a beer. Crazy or caring, Chickie gave his friends more than beer, he gave them hope. Hope that helped each one safely return home when the war was over. Now, 47 years later, the group is reunited to relive the greatest beer run ever.

Incredible.

Ephemeral New York is a site that seeks to chronicle "an ever-changing city through faded and forgotten artifacts."

In a recent post, the site shows a vintage postcard showing a colorized aerial photograph of the "tall" skyscrapers in Midtown around 1920's Times Square.

With so many skyscrapers in the city topping out with more than 70, 80, even 100 floors, the tall buildings shown in this photo of Times Square look pretty puny. But they impressed New Yorkers at the time, and the caption on the back of the card boasts about them. “This aerial photograph of the Times Square section of New York shows many of the skyscraper office buildings located in the heart of New York,” it reads.
