Hello everyone and welcome back to Mystery Scoop. In this video, we compare Then and Now photos of the same locations to see how much the world has changed or perhaps remained the same in the last 100 years. This photo is taken in 1913 and depicts New York's famous 5th Avenue, as seen from 51st Street, looking north. A very busy road indeed and there can be seen some of the many methods of transportation that New Yorker's took to get around the city. There were horse drawn carriages and other types of automobiles, most likely Ford Models, traveling both north and south. And of course, sidewalks were crowded by many dressed-up pedestrians going about their daily business. This photo, on the other hand, is from 2014, as seen on a Google street map. As you can see, the changes are dramatic and nearly astonishing. With a small number of pedestrians on the streets, most of whom are dressed casually, the transportation and city architecture look radically different. However, as this other photograph shows, sometimes only the people may evolve, whilst our cityscapes remain nearly identical.
