Time travel back to New York city 1902 and a busy street scene on Lower Broadway Manhattan. Enhanced using neural networks, colorized and up-scaled to 4K 60fps with added sound. The bustle of early 20th century city life is palpable, with throngs of pedestrians crowding the sidewalks and daringly jaywalking. Horse-drawn carriages, wagons and streetcars are plentiful, creating a lively rhythm as they traverse north to south. Occasionally meandering across Broadway when the ebb and flow of traffic permits. Men, smartly dressed in coats and ties, sport either a bowler or a top hat, adding a touch of elegance to the scene. The few women in sight are adorned in street-length skirts and wide-brimmed hats, mirroring the fashionable style of the era. A solitary policeman stands guard, his vigilant gaze sweeping over the bustling scene. In stark contrast to the dynamic street below, the camera remains the only stationary element, perched at a second-story level, silently capturing the vibrant tapestry of life unfolding over 120 years ago. Lower Broadway is located in Manhattan, New York City. It refers to the southern portion of the famous Broadway street, which starts at Bowling Green, near Battery Park, and extends northwards through the Financial District and Tribeca. Lower Broadway is known for its historical landmarks and iconic buildings, such as the Charging Bull statue, Trinity Church, and the Woolworth Building.
