People look at the spectacular ruins of the Parthenon in Greece or the Forum in Rome and wonder, "why didn't they keep it up?" Then some ancient cemetery is found in downtown London or a statue in the center of an Italian city is found to be 2000 years old, and people wonder "how could they forget these things?"

Well folks, it's happening even to this day. We build over, wreck, discard, or neglect places and things even faster than the ancients did, many times for different reasons. Don't believe me? Check out Forgotten New York, a website dedicated to ferriting out the weird, neglected, forlorn remains of one of Americas oldest, largest cities.

Not to be missed:

• Tiny bits of the old Penn Station which still survive
• City Hall station, abandoned more than fifty years ago yet still traversed by subways to this day.
• Tiny old cemeteries in the heart of the old city

And much more. Enjoy!
