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.

Surrounded by New York City streets on all sides, you won't get completely lost in Central Park as you can simply walk in any direction to get out. But sitting at 843-acres large, navigating within the park can be tough, and if you are trying to get out to a specific exit or direction, can sometimes be challenging if you are unfamiliar with the surrounding buildings. Luckily, there is a secret code embedded on every lamppost within the park that can help you get around. Learn all about it in this great short video from YouTuber Alec Bostwick.

As part of their Old New York in Photos series, the team behind historical blog Stuff Nobody Cares About recently shared this large vintage photograph from 1907 showing a busy street scene outside of the old Casino Theater on Broadway and W 37th St.

We’re looking at the Casino Theatre on 39th Street and Broadway in a Detroit Publishing Co. photograph that the Library of Congress has labeled “Saturday Matinee circa 1900 – 1910.” By looking at the few details available we can narrow down approximately when this photograph was taken. The weather appears to be on the cool side, as some of the men and women wear coats over their dress attire.

Check out their excellent accompanying article for an in-depth analysis and breakdown of the photo.
