This is dope af OP, really original post.


Repped + Dapped.

EDIT: this was the suggested next video on YouTube

That NYC accent was strong asf in that entire video

I’m surprised there was talks of the computer and upcoming Information Age as far back as ‘79. I also liked how humbled and fascinated with the camera everybody was. Very different from today’s society.

Damn this brings back memories of when I would fly over to the east coast and visit my family in Rossdale and Soutside Jamaica, always loved NY doesn’t look too much different in Manhattan other than its a lot more diverse now

NYC has GOAT American architecture for sure. Them prewar buildings give the city a lot of character and give a true urban vibe.

Chicago. Ask any architect.

I prefer New York because the apartment buildings are usually connected. And New York has many brownstones and limestones.

Perhaps, but Chicago is still considered the best US city for architecture.

In terms of residential architecture, NYC has always been better to me because of all the brownstones, limestones, Beaux Arts, Art-Deco, etc.

Here are some Queen Anne brownstones in Brooklyn

Google it if you feel the need to.

Architecture greatness has actual guidelines and Chicago ranks the highest for US cities. The designers alone is a whos who of architecturial elite. The artistic freedom, meaning you can build anything next to everything without violating dumb city codes, is another reason. After the fire, Chicago was built to impress, unlike most cities that build from the need to grow.
