Just 13 days until the online release of the 1940 Census!

The original caption reads:”New York City’s Sixth Avenue elevated railway and the crowded street below, ca. 1940.”

According the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of New York City was 7.5 million in 1940, making NYC the most populous city at that time. It remains at the top even today, with the 2010 census showing over 8 million inhabitants.

On Saturday March 24 in New York City, you can get ready for the 1940 Census with expert guest speakers, including our own Connie Potter and Dr. Groves of the U.S. Census Bureau. The program is free but requires registration.

And this is why I won’t be spending New Year’s Eve in NYC.

And today in Sunday afternoon events happening in the apartment upstairs: didgeridoo practice. Three hours and counting.
