I love these before and now photos. I've seen them for American cities in books, and I find them interesting. Some important sites of the past in cities are now parking lots.

Wow! I was shocked at the high survival rate of the buildings, I can see more missing buildings on random Pittsburgh, PA blocks from 1944 to 2014 without the assistance of war and reconstruction!

That is very cool! I love anything to do with WWII and to contrast areas of today is neat. Thanks! Cheers.

Clever. I see the black boat with the orange stripe has grown.

There are lots of WW II "then and now" pictures online, but I've never seen them superimposed before.

Having been born in 1944 I would love to view this but I am unable to open it. Would you please see if there is anything that needs to be corrected with the address? Thank you!!

That is really strange. I clicked on it a day or two ago and it worked fine for me. It isn't working now, as you all have pointed out. :-( Cheers.

Glad to see the website isn't working for others. The way the first few people were talking about how great it was, I starting to think it was me.
