From old to new

I came across this website just before. Simply awesome! I live in New York City and am rather fascinated by all its history (and lost history) so this website is really amazing to me.

If anyone hasn't already done it, you should scope out all the abandoned subway stations through the windows as you pass by them. Ones to note are the old City Hall station (just after the "last stop" Brooklyn Bridge station), just stay on the 6 train after it gets to Brooklyn Bridge and it loops around, passing the old City Hall station. You don't get to see it for long, but what you do see is simply amazing...a far cry from the industrial stations that are being made/renovated today. Other stations to check out are the old 91st Street station along the 1 Line and the old 18th Street station along the 6 Line. They are totally graffed up and dark, but if you stick your face against the window you can see them.
