There is nothing
more fascinating to me than looking at old pictures. It takes me back to
memories, experiences, people, places, moments, joy and happiness. It let us realized how much we have changed.
My picture
illustrates the price evolution of the best city in the world. Money wise it is
an aspect that is always is constant evolution. My photo gave us an idea of how
our city has changed in terms of living costs.
I was attracted by 98 cents a gallon. WHAT? Yes that was the price per
gallon of gas in 1950s. It made me feel
that the photographer wanted to capture the cost of living in New York City, also
housing.
As 2015 a gallon
of gas in the city is about $4 dollars. Wow New York how expensive you became. Space wise and location is an aspect of the
old New York that remains unchanged. As
today we still have small gas stations in most of the city’s neighborhoods,
Surrounded by wine store and restaurants, two of the most popular and strongest
business in New York City, food and beverages.
Which is fascinating about New York that we can enjoy food in so many
different restaurants that let us enjoy and explore international cuisine from
many countries.
Also, I was amazed
by the ad behind the gas station in my picture that offers “Rooms for 50
dollars” I wonder if it was a hotel or motel room. Local and tourists would be
amazed to find a place to stay for $50 a night, it would not probably happen. I
really like this picture because it tells a lot about the old New York City in
addition my picture shows the relationship between living costs and people. Thought
old pictures we see the essence of a city that remains unchanged.
