Barring a few afros, shaggy locks, and hippie paisleys, a lot of those photographs look stunningly contemporary to 2013.

Every other? How many Caucasian women do you see in that photo? Looks like more Get Christie Love!"* than Laurie Partridge to me.

I exaggerate. All the kids are doing it. I spotted maybe four Lauries, particularly in images 27 and 28.

At the end of that photo essay, there's a link to a collection of NYC subway shots from 1973. Holy moley, the train system looks like it was overrun by criminal gangs. It's Escape from New Yorkish.

#5 looks like a thinner and upscale version of my grandmother.

Couldn't have been too hot that day, global warming hadn't yet been invented.

The effects of human-induced climate change were first observed in the 19th century, and climate scientists began warning of the dangers of greenhouse gases in the 1950s. But don't let facts get in the way of your right-wing talking points.

It was a joke ace, but don't let that get in the way of your constant left-wing anger.

Also during the summer of 1969, three men set off on a long trip. This film is improved if you crank up the speakers.

I took the subway to school for four years from 7th grade through 10th (1977-1980). The above picture is exactly how I remember the IRT as I took it from 103rd and Broadway down to 23rd street. Add in standing room only rush hour, no AC and everybody smoking cigarettes. Good times

And I remember when the backs of the seats on the A Tain were wicker. And the straps the straphangers could hang onto were really leather straps, not metal loops.

Photos of New York in the 1970s. This is the New York I remember as a kid.
