    1940's Black and White photos from New York City

    Forgive me if these have been posted elsewhere but I'd never seen this collection of photographs before and thought I'd share.

    The kids jumping off the building into the Hudson River made me gasp! That would have lawsuit written all over it today.

    I wish you'd posted that link a few months earlier! I had every intention of taking in that exhibit, but didn't get it done. Had I seen those photos, I would have definitely made it a point to attend.

    Sorry, I only found them yesterday, and quite by accident too! Maybe they'll run it again in the future.
