    That was really great to watch. I visited New York for the first time this summer, an amazing place. I was there for less then a week, and it wasn’t nearly enough time. Do you know of any more historical videos like this one? Again, this video was great to watch, really enjoyed it

    1. Yo Kam, Nice to see you amongst all the drivel. Has the Hawaiian rocket project been canceled? For me I’m now saving disk space as I no longer record Rocketboom for my own archives. But I do have most of the Amanda/Joanne archived (26GB, 960 files). As my license holders says “Keep on Trucking”.

      Hey Kam! Good to see you hangin’ out at RB. I sure miss “the old days.” I’ve never left many posts here, but always enjoyed your comments and banter with the others. The RB comments section has so turned to crap, eh? Even Walter Crespo’s creepy come-ons would seem tame compared to the flotsam left by some of the losers that post here nowadays.

    Nope, it’s not challenging to be the hystorian of a town of relatively recent foundation, where just about everything, including the first purchase of land, is on record. It’s a bed of roses in fact, however fast the urban change may be.

    Try to figure out what a town had to be like three thousand years ago from a few unearthed fragments of pottery, with inscriptions on them about which the first problem is to make out the language that was used. That is challenging.

    However, I liked a lot this interview.

    Hey RB there is other stuff/cities/places other than New York. He didn’t mention that after the powers that be extracted the labor and made fortunes from the nuisance industries, they tore down their business and shipped the people to the hinterlands where now they had to pay to get to where they used to walk to. Oh and the cleared land well it’s no surprise that it was taken over by the rich.

    New York is a blight on the face of this country.

    Whoever edited/produced this is an idiot. Ella and Michael are standing in Collect Pond Park, but the footage at 1:19 and the photograph at 4:07 are from Foley Square.
