Balloon vendor in New York, 1935. Photo by John Allbok.

The surprising thing about this photo is that aside from the vintage cars in the background (and the noticeable lack of traffic), it could have been taken today. Many  neighborhoods in the City still look just like this. I grew up in this town, and if I could afford it (think Warren Buffett or the Sultan of Brunei), I’d still live there.
