I've been recently introduced to a site called forgotten-ny.com and found out, just as the name implies it, things i wouldn't have think of. Have new yorkers really forgotten about these things? To give a general prospective of it, it is a site where the forgotten stories of New York, are exposed, including paces, objects, stories, and others. The site itself does not provide a sense of organization, instead scattered subjects all over the site, which in my opinion, makes it much more intriguing.
On its main page, subjects as old buildings, houses, weird streets, even paintings, are exposed. All of these things were of great importance and very significant but people have just forgotten about them. This is what this site is dedicated to acknowledge. IN other words its main purpose is to make people become aware of these once highly significant things, which most new yorkers seem not to remember.
Exploring this site, I just kept on getting more and more surprised. A beautiful state where even historical places have been ignored. For example, I was highly drawn to an article titled “governor’s island” , with a small picture of a hidden house covered by trees. This section was found in a farther corner of the site, and yet it proved to be amazingly interested. I would have never imagined the in formations that was provided. In this particular article, “Governor’s Island” by Christina Wikinson, New York history is told! “A mystery to most New Yorkers, the Island served as the longest continuously active military post in the United States, from 1794 until 1997.”, this is a line extracted from the introduction of this article. This island is set in the New York harbor, between the Hudson and East Rivers. A timeline of major events is then provided. A very impacting information is supplied; this island had been named A NATIONAL HISTORICAL LANDMARK! New yorkers poses of a national historical landmark that I dare to say few people are even aware of, as it was on my own case.
This is just one of the very many amazing articles provided by this site. Forgottten-ny.com, can surely be very instructional for people of all ages.
