The Lindy Hop is an upbeat swing dance with origins dating back to New York City's jazz-age and its epicenter in Harlem. A recent story published by our friends at NY City Lens shows how the Harlem Swing Dance Society is helping to keep the dance alive in modern times.

The dance was born in Harlem during the Great Depression, and that's where some residents are keeping it going.

Check out the accompanying article for more on the dance group.

Local transit historian and railfan Dj Hammers makes tons of great videos showing how subway transit works and runs in the City. In this recent upload to YouTube, Dj Hammers captures the entire ride on the C Train from 168th Street in Manhattan to Euclid Avenue in Brooklyn, filming out the front window from the train operator's point of view. Check it out!

Some of the trains that run on the C line are made up of R32-type equipment, which have passenger accessible front windows! This allows for the creation of videos that show the view ahead. Here we see a timelapse version of this view, compressing an hour and 10-minute ride into just a few minutes! Enjoy!
