  • This is a fast-paced 23-minute documentary history of New York City, narrated at rapid speed by renowned New York newscaster Bill Beutel and produced by the Museum of the City of New York. It uses archival illustrations and paintings to cover the first two centuries, photographs to cover the second half of the 19th century and film footage for the 20th century. It starts out with Henry Hudson’s landing in 1609 and concludes with the construction of Lincoln Center and the World Trade Center in the 1960s and 1970s and ethnic street festivals in the 1990s. It’s got a remarkable array of imagery. Produced in 1992.

    Almost from its inception, New York WAS America, the first place many immigrants saw and lived --the haven for the indigent and oppressed. It often was not easy nor pleasant, but New York was always there for the masses--the emerald city, the land of Oz.

    I'm actually glad Dad died 7/23/01- a terrible thing to say. BUT: He had been alive to see the towers fall? It would have killed him in the soul. RIP those lost that day.
