I was born and raised in lower Manhattan in 1929. I lived on the lower East side until 1961. I came to New Mexico and I have been here ever since. Life was very different back then. We were all very poor, but we had happier lives as kids. Too bad Things have changed so much.

That’s cool – wish I had this one in my collection but I don’t think Papa went to NewYork in 57. If he did I haven’t found the photo’s yet.
Beautiful photo!!!
I love New York!!!!
Very interesting stuff here! My wife follows you so I’ve seen your site that way already. Keep it up!
1955 New York looks very much like I remember it. I have only been there once, and it was in 1967.
It’s changed so much, yet changed so little. Love New York.
wow! NYC looks so different now.
Awesome photo!
So lovely! Thanks for sharing!
I was in NYC as a young kid back in 1959, it looked much like the image in the photo.
Wow, cool photo
Oh! Indeed it looks different now.
Love it!
