An aerial photograph shows an overhead view of Manhattan, New York City, captured in 1931...
Most of Manhattan at this time was dominated by low-to-mid-rise brick tenements, warehouses, and commercial buildings (typically 3 to 5 stories high), prior to the massive wave of modern . The tall spike rising in Midtown (a short distance south of Central Park) corresponds to the Empire State Building, which was completed in 1931.
. . .
The photo shows how much of Manhattan was still low-rise at the time. Long stretches of the island were filled with row houses, tenements and small apartment buildings, laid out along the famous street grid.
That grid dates to the Commissioners’ Plan of 1811, which mapped out Manhattan’s numbered streets and avenues long before most of the island was built up.
But 1931 was also the height of New York’s first great skyscraper race. The Chrysler Building was completed in 1930, and the Empire State Building opened in May 1931, becoming the tallest building in the world, a title it held for nearly 40 years.
Airships were a familiar sight in the sky. Germany’s Graf Zeppelin flew over New York several times in the late 1920s and early 1930s, drawing huge crowds.
The Empire State Building’s spire was originally designed as a mooring mast for airships, so passengers could disembark in midtown Manhattan. Strong winds at that height made it far too dangerous, and the idea was abandoned.

Appreciate many are waiting for a specific piece of news, but to suggest Ellis is “hiding” when he did a Fan’s Forum only 9 days ago is crazy 😅
The last thing any club needs is for a ‘suit’ to be fronting up and talking every other week. Good comms doesn’t mean constant comms

It is in darkness, where light shines brightest.
Tonight, Las Palmas will take to the field not in their traditional yellow and blue kit but in the white and blue of their rivals Tenerife.
It’s an incredible gesture of show support to Tenerife after the passing of Jesús de Miguel last week.

Dopo aver subìto l'umiliante 1-9 contro il Como e con lo striscione di protesta dei tifosi ancora alzato ("Siete la vergogna di 120 anni di storia"), il Lens ha preso questo gol contro l'OM dopo un minuto.

Atleti have started like an 10th gear train v Barca. They should be ahead. And as I write this barca hit the bar. These games are always amazing.

Hay que cantar con más fuerza si tú vas perdiendo,
Hasta los que ya se fueron cantan desde cielo,
Esto nunca va a parar,
Cantaremos a la eternidad…..

🔥 This was the atmosphere today at the New Firm Copenhagen derby.
These are the Brøndby fans in the away end ahead of their match against FC København.
🏴 In England, we can't take bottle tops into the ground.
🇩🇰 In Denmark, they do this.

It's not all so serious.
See the top comment.
Sometimes they make me laugh a lot.
That was a very good one.

Perdón pero de este tipazo no me pienso reír. El único futbolero en toda la cancha. Entendió perfectamente que no se puede seguir una definición por celular y tik tok. El tipo con la radio siguiendo los acontecimientos minuto a minuto para no festejar al pedo como los fisuras.

Una delle follie PIÙ INCREDIBILI nella storia del calcio:
- Rosario Central e Boca Juniors all'ultima giornata per il titolo
- il Rosario vince e aspetta il Boca sull'0-0
- Al 96° Boca segna 1-0
- Lo stadio di Rosario si ghiaccia
- VAR
- nello stadio del Rosario qualcuno urla che il gol è annullato e tifosi e giocatori impazziscono per circa 5 minuti
- solo che il gol del Boca NON È ANNULLATO
- totale follia surreale finché qualcuno con le cuffie sente che il Boca è campione e la notizia si diffonde lentamente x.com/giannco__/stat…
