Here are some more of the photos from the New York Archives along with other photographers photos. Each one of them will take you back to a place that once was filled with many of our memories. Time does not stand still. Many of these places are still there . The times have changed and some of the views are new, but many are the same. The part of the Rockaway’s that was destroyed by Robert Moses and left to die is finding new life with new families as they discover the wonder of the sea and the wonderful boardwalk. I still say there is no place like home.

The black and white photos that are next are some of the most haunting of a place that once had such life. There is such a beauty in these photographs such a stillness.
