A little NYC history

I came across an article today in the Wall Street Journal that profiled a variety of NYC maps in honor of our city's street grid system's 200th birthday. Below are a couple of my favorites, but take look at the article for the full listing. I love things like this!



For those of you interested - Lucy & I live in the lower left hand corner on this map - at 35th between 3rd & 2nd Ave!



This is what Manhattan would look like positioned between Oakland and San Francisco. Pretty cool.



And one of the funniest maps created - all the spots listed on "missed connections" on Craigslist during May 2010! The very thought of this creeps me out! Apparently the Upper East Side is the place to be (or not depending on your personal view).

Hope you all find this as much fun as I did :)
