There you go! That’s all. I’ve been posting a steady stream of fairly large pictures so head on over and check it out. If you like, subscribe and keep up with my favorites!

NYC Grid has a small collection of photos showing the same places in New York City in 1961 and in 2009. Some places have changed a lot over the years while others have almost remained untouched.

Woman’s Day magazine has a very tall image (seriously, it’s very long height-wise) on the evolution of the [American] household. It starts out in the 1950’s era and goes all the way up to today, and in the image you can see how the house and family have changed, grown, and shrunk over the years. It even includes facts about the average time spent in front of the television, and as you can imagine, this number rises gradually as the years go by. But it’s not just all physical characterstics either. The evolution of the household is a good snapshot of how the nation has changed in the way it thinks about the family and the opportunities available to each family member (women in the workforce and # of people who have college degrees is one way this is gauged).
It’s a pretty good all-in-one look at the American family and the things they do. Check it out and see if you fit in with the average household in the 2000’s. Thanks Presurfer!

This New York Times article starts out with a neat draggable image that overlays two images of Grand Central Terminal over each other — one from 2008 and the other from 1978.
The article goes into how Grand Central has more or less remained ad-free in the past 30 years while other public spaces in the city have gone on to be covered top-to-bottom in advertising.
Anyway, go over to the article and drag the slider around to compare the images of the terminal.
