If anyone ever says to you that style isn’t cyclical, send them this link and then bitch slap them. Pictured below from the LIFE archive (that has become a worse addiction for me then, well, some of my other massive addictions), are two cyclists on Fifth Avenue in NYC circa 1960!

New York’s PBS Channel Thirteen has put together an interesting three part series called Uncertain Industry on the state of New York City manufacturing. Per the website: “New York City was once the capital of American manufacturing. In 1950, the city boasted nearly one million manufacturing jobs. By 2007 that number had dwindled to one hundred thousand. Today’s manufacturers face stiff competition, space constraints, and high real estate prices.”
