Vintage pictures of New York in the 1970s

<p>My wife often sends me these types of articles because she knows how much I love these types of photographs and history as well.<br>

<p>Enjoy</p>

<p>Looks like scenes from my youth. I lived on Palisades ave in Union City and watched the World Trade Center being built from my bedroom window. We hung out in Greenwich Village. You could drink in NY at 18, 21 in NJ. At 16, we were getting served there. The PATH subway was $.25 each way. Madison Square Garden and the Filmore East were THE main concert venues. And I never, ever went into any nudie shows or sex shops on 42nd Street. Colorful times.</p>
