Chinese and Italian Boys on Mulberry Street - New York, circa 1930By combining the access and mobility of Google Maps and uploaded historical photos of specific locations, you can take a 1930s stroll through San Francisco, Paris, Little Italy or China Town in Manhattan....even Amsterdam.

i LOVE this. I love more that photo of the immigrant's kids. The whole time we walked around SoHo I kept saying, imagine what this looked like when it was new. What were people wearing, the street was maybe muddy, or cobble stoned....I love this kind of thing.
Totally agree. Particularly when you go to old world locations....but I'm also psyched to see what comes of this (not unlike My Parents Were Awesome and other sites built by users) with SFO and LA and who knows where. Total digathon with this.
