Helpful Hint

Notice the trash recepticle of the time - the orange and blue color is in keeping with New York City's efforts to honor its Dutch heritage. Why not honor its British heritage? The was a time where Irish immigrants and their progeny dominated New York City politics and they carried their animus of the British to colors applied to matters as diverse as the Staten Island Ferry and to waste recepticles.

If you are modeling New York City back in the 1960s and perhaps earlier, do not forget to include a trash receptacle such as the one pictured above.
