I believe the 2012 shot is taken a few years before 2012. One WTC isn’t seen under construction

Had a burst of energy so I made a comparison! Lower Manhattan throughout the decades.

Sorry, not to nitpick but the upper right definitely isn’t 2002. You can see the Bank of America Tower topped out, so it’s at least 2008.

Ah… fixed.

In this picture I recognize a construction crane at the Goldman Sachs Building, this was completed in 1983.

The point is… things have changed. :laughing:

So and 007 if you already post the pictures from my post again. Then you can please also give my “per” or credit for the 1930 picture.

Umm if I were you, I would just do what she says, since it’s strongly suggested. Otherwise, you’re basically posting that photo without credit and/or without permission.

One of the many rules on sites like this and SSP state that you have to credit the source. I saw that post you posted above, liked it, then unliked it when I saw it was just @Mackensen’s post. So the answer is yes, you really have to
