Have You Noticed Change in Manhattan?

We’ve been here a while, and we’ve seen a lot of changes in Manhattan. If you have been here long enough, you may have noticed the stark transformation of the Meatpacking district from the gritty, industrial 1980s to the luxe, upscale present day. This photographer took his old photos from 1985 and went back for a second look. While some get a little nostalgic for the good ol’ days of gritty New York, others condemn the old Meatpacking as “dangerous” and “filthy.” Our objective eyes just see millions of dollars of development and refurbishments.
