City of Memory - New York stories is an on-line repository of memories developed by City Lore.
'The cliché, said Jake Barton, Local Projects’ founder, is that there are eight million stories in the city. But really, he said, “it’s kind of more like there’s eight million different cities, each created within each of our memories.” That, he added, is the idea of the site: “What does the city look like when you’re seeing it not just through an official lens, or your own lens, but seeing it through the lens of what other people have experienced?”' New York Times
