Living History on the World Wide Web

In lieu of a reading response, check out this fantastic animation by Zach van Schouwen:

"The Block" re-traces the "complete history of Eldridge Street between Stanton and Rivington," an intersection on the Lower East Side. It's like an online, interactive version of R. Crumb's "A Short History of America" (recreated here in Terry Zwigoff's Crumb, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ym5n-ZZWUs).
