WAVZ 13: Strip away all the elegant restaurants with scurrying waiters wearing man-buns, organic grocery stores, antique emporiums, sidewalk bistros, fine expensive jewelry stores, chic art galleries.... and you get the REAL Piermont, New York. March 1970.

WAVZ 13: It's Monday and back to work you go in Lower Manhattan as the Staten Island Ferry pulls into its grandiose 19th century terminal. New York. July 1930.
WAVZ 13: Now that it's summer, here's a shot of "Charlie Baby", our Good Humor man. Not only did he sell ice-cream, but also chain-smoked Camels and told one nonstop dirty joke after another. He was the coolest ice cream guy I've ever met! Milford, CT. Aug 1972
WAVZ 13: Some people love it and others view it an ugly blight on the landscape. The Pulaski Skyway with 1970s cars on a typically smoggy day. The Kearny Generation Station from 1925 was still in use and burning coal. Jersey City. Nov 1977
WAVZ 13: Hanging out on 42nd St, 1980s style. XXX Video, passport photo joints, VCR and camcorder stores, several bodegas, delis, Marlboro billboard, DKNY, adult entertainment bar, film processing, Lotto. New York. Sept 1989
WAVZ 13: The Twin Towers hover over a swampy wilderness in Liberty State Park on a foggy, misty, ethereal morning. Jersey City. March 1991
WAVZ 13: Meet "old faithful", my trusty 1998 Honda Accord. It gets regular maintenance, a car wash after snowstorms and waxed four times a year. The car's still quite zippy with its VTEC engine. At 135,000 miles, it's just broken in. New York. March 2021
WAVZ 13: So, last weekend my wife and I drove down to Manhattan to visit some friends who've been renting a really sweet apartment on West 59th Street, but we soon noticed that something was... well... not quite right.
WAVZ 13: Welcome to the good old days in Manhattan. A subway conductor peeks out a window to make sure everything is OK on the platform. These train cars were in use since the mid 1940s and were seriously worn out and tired by the late 1970s. New York. March 1977
WAVZ 13: Rumor has it that two extremely tall towers once stood at the foot of Manhattan. Their names have been lost to time. As US Representative Ilhan Omar said "Some people did something" which caused the buildings to no longer exist. New York. Aug 1996
WAVZ 13: A lost moment in time. The Statue of Liberty entangled by an array of power lines raises her torch into the pink smoggy sky of late afternoon. A man with a Chevy takes his dog for a walk. Near the abandoned Lehigh Valley tracks. Jersey City. April 1976.
WAVZ 13: A wonderfully Dickensian view of the "High LIne" (technically, the NYC Viaduct of the New York Central Railroad) in a gritty, industrial Chelsea neighborhood which would be utterly unrecognizable to current residents. New York. November 1932
