[REPOST] This 360° Video Gives an Immersive View Inside The Batcave, a Brooklyn Temple of Graffiti

Dating back to the 1950s, the Gowanus Batcave is one of the City's oldest graffiti havens. Similar to its Queens counterpart 5 Pointz, the Batcave is being demolished and converted into residences. In this immersive 360° video from the New York Times, peek inside the graffiti-filled Batcave before it is gone for good.

The Batcave, a derelict warehouse in Brooklyn, was a canvas for graffiti for decades. Visit it in this 360° video before it is renovated.

If you can't move the view around, you need to use the Google Chrome browser on desktop, or the YouTube App for iOS or Android to move around inside the video.

This 1905 shot of Herald Square is much different than what it looks like today. You can see square's namesake, the original New York Herald Building, the Elevated 6th Avenue IRT line, old horse carts and early automobiles, along with hundreds of classy, well dressed pedestrians.

You can even see down Broadway to the original New York Times Building on 42nd St, off in the distance. For reference, here is the Google Streetview from this angle today.
