NYC Then and Now: 2003 vs 2009
Being a tourist myself, there is no way that I can properly comment on the changes in these years. I think people like NyGuy, ... etc can tell us all the interesting differences then and now. What I am trying is to provide similar perspectives. As built a city as NYC, it's amazing that you can still see the significant change of the city.

All pictures are mine:
June 2003:


January 2009:


So bad that I can't find a 2003 picture of mine that has the Jersey city side:
2003:


2009:



Downtown is healing itself:
2003:


2009:


More to come if you are interested.

MetLife moved their executive offices over to Manhattan from LIC.

Very cool thread!! I'm really liking the new projects... they're going to add some very modern definition to the skyline.
