#70 The Bowery Files

PODCAST REWIND This is our "potpourri" episode with a little bit of everything in it. We open up some of our favorite readers mail, we take you behind the scenes of how we put together an episode, and we describe three of our very favorite history-related websites that you should check out.  But it wouldn't be a podcast without some history, right? So we take a brief stroll down the Bowery, with over 200 years of history of this famous street. But has anything really changed?   THIS IS A SPECIAL ENHANCED EPISODE. Pictures should pop up on your listening device as it plays.   This was originally recorded on November 21, 2008 boweryboyshistory.com
