If you've ever wondered what the big apple, known as New York City, looked like back in the early nineteen hundreds, get an inside glimpse of how things looked in NYC.
Facts: The Fila.com fashion company came into existence back then. The New York City subway was in its infancy. And there was no such thing as ice cold air conditioning on New York City subway trains, nor possibly pension plans for workers "though there might've been some pension plans available to some employees working in certain fields of work."
Also, yellow checker cabs allegedly didn't have seatbelts. You would have to pull a folding chair up from the floor of the cab and sit in it with a group of others people to ride the cab across Brooklyn or Manhattan. If you couldn't fit in the cab because you were too fat or couldn't stay in the makeshift chair because you were overweight, you either sat on the floor in the back of the cab, or waited for another yellow checkered cab to arrive.
Back then, New York was simple, less violent, and people had a greater respect for life.
