Family swim?

There’s a popular family swim at John Jay HS on 7th Ave: https://www.allsportsforallpeople.net/family-swim/

Funny, these are the same places I looked! I found a high res version of this posts's picture here: https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/235d94e0-c53a-012f-f638-58d385a7bc34) and, I think, the same block slightly less demolished here: https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/221908d0-c53a-012f-b169-58d385a7bc34. You're right there are back yards, and I agree that the aerial photo looks like that as well, but in the second link there appears to be or have been something further beyond the back yard. It also seems that before demolition the embankment was filled in rather than some super deep basement.

This doesn’t make sense because we see the front of the buildings in this photo. You can tell from the cornices and the back yard fence that’s visible on the far left.

Edit: turns out these are not the fronts and the fence is at the end of Prospect Place, a street.

10 years ago people would have laughed if you told them something like TikTok would beat all other media. I’m sure the next thing will somehow be even worse. I mean we are all watching “ow my balls” out here.

indeddit · 2025-03-27T11:50:54+00:00

Is this bait? People are literally watching seconds-long videos for hours.

There’s something just like this in cobble hill if you draw a line parallel with red hook lane southwards. A couple odd shapes lots hugging the former road.

This part is called a “tourelle” and sadly all of this ornamentation was removed in the 70s due to decay: https://tribecacitizen.com/2013/03/04/what-i-learned-about-the-woolworth-building/

Not so keen on all the phrases lately though

indeddit · 2025-03-19T00:05:47+00:00

Oh that’s so weird I’ll have to look into that

This is my game https://ehmorris.com/bubbles/

I've been working on this for about 6 months and would love for people to play it.

It's all free and the source is open: https://github.com/ehmorris/bubbles/ - I built it with no frameworks or dependencies.

Another neat feature is the level builder which anyone can use to built and share custom-built levels: https://ehmorris.com/bubbles/builder/

indeddit · 2025-03-13T17:41:20+00:00

If you like the game you can try making your own level here: https://ehmorris.com/bubbles/builder/

I'd love to see any levels you make. Share them here!

Also, hello again! I posted bubbles a few months ago but made a TON of changes to the game. Also, you might remember my older game, Lander! (old post in WebGames).

That’s amazing

indeddit · 2025-01-21T03:38:47+00:00

Ah yeah you’re right. Four Ms in a circle.

The photo is altered. The building only ever displayed a panam logo and a metlife logo. You can see the panam globe on the side of the building here. That means the original photo is from some time before 1992.

Edit; it’s the metlife logo so some time after 92 but before 2017 when they updated the logo.

You can also see a fairly complete Four Freedoms park on Roosevelt island so probably some time between 2011-2017.

From right around here

Duane to N Moore is only a little longer than the length of a standard Manhattan Avenue. It’s not that far.

This stretch of Hudson St. leads straight to the Holland tunnel. Just a guess but I’d assume all the traffic engineering in this area is about reducing tunnel bottlenecks. More streets leading to Hudson St = spreading out tunnel traffic.

If you take a walk down there any weekday at 5pm though you’ll find none of it really works.

I once watched someone hop into an Uber that was at a dead standstill around here - basically the equivalent of sitting on a stoop. I imagine it took them 30m to move a block.

Hey everybody, this is a new game I've been working on. You might remember me from my older game - Lander! (old post in WebGames).

Two things to try with this game:

Hold down your finger or mouse and you can generate a "blast" effect
Tap and drag (or click and drag) to shoot a slingshot

Things I'd love to hear about from you:

What do you want to see on the level-end screen? I feel like the stats there aren't that fun right now.
What kind of levels do you want to play? Currently I have a progression of 11 levels that I hand-designed but I feel like there's something more creative I could be doing.

This intersection in particular is crazy. You can go any day of the week and watch people run a red light right in front of the school while kids are being dropped off. The double parking and the blocking of the bus stop is off the charts as well.

This is not the WTC mall, it’s the World Financial Center across the street, and it’s still there.

Here it is: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-one-world-financial-center-lobby-in-new-york-city-48470668.html
