GREAT OLD PICS
Long Acre (also #Longacre) Square was taken from #London's district for buying #horses & #carriages. Basically, the area was a huge #UsedCar market, before there were #cars. The #WinterGarden #Theatre (1911) was an #arena to watch your horse (1881)!
City changes name 1904 bc #NYTimes is #building a #tower on the site. #Electricity & #StreetLights help make area safer, #NYC's first #subway opens 1904, #newspaper moves in 1905.

Blind to Disruption – The CEOs Who Missed the Future via Steve Blank [Shared]
In the early 20th century, the United States was home to more than 4,000 carriage and wagon manufacturers. They were the backbone of mobility and the precursors of automobiles, used for personal transportation, goods delivery, military logistics, public transit, and more. These companies employed tens of thousands of workers and formed the heart of an ecosystem of blacksmiths, wheelwrights, saddle makers, stables, and feed suppliers.
And within two decades, they were gone. Only 1 company out of 4,000 carriage and wagon makers pivoted to automobiles.
