The site, in 1999
Kevin Walsh's guide to New York City's overlooked leftovers: painted building ads, old cast-iron lampposts, 18th-century houses and abandoned subway stations.
Begun in 1999, it led HarperCollins to approach Walsh in 2003 about a book, published in 2006. In 2015 the Guides Association of New York City gave it its first Outstanding New York Website award.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
