Living in the Past



Some of the ghosts of radio manufacturers still haunt Google Maps.

I started trying to map out the original streets from New York's Radio Row -- Cortlandt, Dey, Liberty, etc. I ended up finding a lot of buildings around the country that used to house radio manufacturers. I created a Google MyMaps page to hold them all. You can find a KMZ at

You'll find Hallicrafters, ElectroVoice, Heathkit, and more. I threw in some lines for Radio Row for good measure.

Thanks to Street Cities - Free Mapping and Street View Tools for the street view control.
