Yes, having a map to go with the list let's you see things visually. Uraniumfish, I knew about the ground because I studied NYC history. You'd be surprised what NYC looked like centuries ago before it became an actual city.

@ henrycarrey Wow, excellent site! The geek in me enjoys the section "under construction" to see the buildings develop from start to finish. And now that there's so many new, half-finished ones on the skyline...

@henrycarrey Thanks for the site...

I never would've guessed that the Bank of America tower was so close in height to the Empire State Building.

I took a good look at the list and can't believe how many buildings are on the list. Incredible.

Are there any great lists of fountains/ parks anywhere? Kind of a weird request, but I'm scoping for a novel I'm writing, and I'm really looking for a great out-of-the-way fountain or something...

@bellacaroline Ask and ye shall receive:

There are also random other lists. "Vintage Barrooms" and "Architecture near 53rd street" are just two I've done, but there's a bunch more...

Can't think of anything specifically on fountains, but who knows.

@Bellacaroline: I would love to read your novel when you have it completed. Sounds like it will make for interesting reading.
