You can turn on a slider to do a direct visual comparison between then and now.

The street I live on was once called Roosevelt Parkway, much more elegant than Peach Hill. Its interesting to look at suburbs that used to be farms and urban centers that have either expanded or decayed.

Trippy. Watching my neighborhood disappear as I crossed into the 60s was interesting.

That is awesome! Looking at the address for work is really awesome. So much industry had to rely on trains and aside from our building in 1961, there was nothing else except neighborhoods, fishing boats, and a HUGE train yard. 10 years and the fill started coming in to build on the water. 20 years after that and theres a whole waterfront of mills and huge buildings. So cool. Nice find, Jesda.
