WhatWasThere

 

Wouldn't it be nice to go back and spend a day in a city like New York or Chicago or even your own town back in the day.  Say like during prohibition  and visit a speakeasy.  You can do it now, well kind of.  Though historical pictures superimposed on current google streetview WhatWasThere allows you to type in an address and see what was there.  To see the website click here. 

If you used an idea from this website then buy Mr H a gatorade :)  Thank you
