New York City Archives 2

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.

Bungalows And Bungalows And More Bungalows The Rockaway We All Remember

There were thousands of bunglows in the Rockaways here are just a few. There are other bungalows photos in other older posts also. They were a special place where one could go for a summer and it would be your home for that season. Many families went back to the same one or same court. This was a special time in our history.
