Vintage Color Photos Capture New York City Streets and Daily Life in 1980

from Rare Historical Photos [alt+shift+b] in history

New York City in 1980 had a look that can be surprisingly difficult to picture today. The buildings are familiar, the streets are recognizable, and the crowds move with the same hurried energy, yet the details belong unmistakably to another time. Cars from another generation line...

Osteria Vibrato, Soho

from Cheese and Biscuits [alt+shift+b] in travel

4 weeks ago
Lunch this particular Saturday started on a bit of a sad note. To get to the restaurant from Shaftesbury Avenue requires walking past the site of 10 Greek Street, once one of the most reliable restaurants in Soho, now sadly empty and forlorn. I know, it's 2026, lots of places are...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
