"And the city has changed in many ways" (shows picture of two similar and very familiar towers)

The quality and feel of this video was created at the highest level. Bravo to the person who made it.

What makes it look even MORE surreal, is that the footage looks CLEAR

[satinbarbi]

The city was so much more fun back then.

[LeafInTheWind]

You can see the focus and concentration on the people faces. No one knows what each other is thinking about because they’re not sharing it with the world.

These years were great. Boombox radios, little TVs, video cameras, beepers and other stuff.

I was only 6 years old this year but '93 was pretty cool. I still remember watching those kids shows like Batman TAS, Uncanny X-Men, and Masked Rider Black. Good times.

"Offers a look at New York in a way no one has ever seen"...well, unless you lived in New York in 1993...

Also, HD-VHS did become a thing, as D-VHS, or D-Theatre, but it was short lived, it was in the market for only 2-3 years.
