Long ago the dreamers and schemers had plans for New York City

The New York Times has a short but darned interesting look at plans the movers and shakers of their day had for NYC. One idea? Drain and dam the East River replacing it with "a five-mile-long network of vehicular and train tunnels topped by boulevards and promenades." Another visionary saw 250 story skyscrapers.

It's worth a look on a sunny Sunday morning.
