Forgotten NY

Forgotten NY

In light of the new page awaiting finishing touches, which will come tomorrow when I have the day off, I'd like to share with you my personal inspiration for Forgotten-Roanoke.

Forgotten-NY has been exposing the past of New York City in minute details (guy has a thing for streetlights) since 1999. He has an ability to not only showcase the lost history of NYC, but make it relevant to today. Especially when it comes to preservation and recognition.

And he has finally recieved some recognition of his own. Coming this fall to a bookstore near you: The Forgotten-NY book.

They say the internet is immortal, the information is never lost - just fallen to the wayside. But the printed word is still considered king, and the highest honor for a someone who had a simple idea, a hobby, is to have that turned into something tangible.

Congrats, Kevin Walsh. May you have many more books to come.

(new page tomorrow, early AM Im guessing)
