Old Amsterdam Gallery 89

Well everyone, I guess that's the end of this almost 4 year long project of mine, scanned, cropped, adjusted and loaded 89 galleries of 10,678 old Amsterdam photos, your comments and support have kept me going, it takes almost 3 hours to load 100 photos. while I was doing this, I found a photo of my grandmother shopping, and one of my dad, as he was leaving for the service (Gallery 8, photo 1) I hope everyone enjoys these for many years. Thank You Again!

Progress? Maybe. I miss the "old city" as I knew it growing up. It was totally different city then but I guess that's been said many times. The downtown was really a place to look forward to going shopping on the week-ends, Friday nights and especially through the Christmas Holidays. At least we have the memories that come alive with these old photos. I look forward to new galleries. Thanks Mark.

East Main and Church, mid 70's. New bridge has opened and a new traffic pattern that will last almost 40 years.

Used to be High Grade Welding. Burned on my Birthday March 17, not sure if it was 1967 or '68.

We called it "Vito's" for some reason. They carried all the new Matchbox toys. Corner of West Main and Gardinier?

I can't thank you enough for all the hard work and long hours you devoted to this project. This has has brought back such great memories for me that I thought would be lost forever. Though I moved on over 36 years ago I can never forget those years growing up in Amsterdam. It's difficult to see so many streets and even neighborhoods don't exist anymore. I still like the city though, always will. Some really good people. Mark's efforts are certainly worthy of recognition by the community. I will visit this site everytime I get the chance. Hello to anyone reading this that remembers me.
