As decades pass, things change in pretty drastic ways. There isn't much left out there that looks the same as it did even just 10 years ago. Due to new technology, a growing population, and changing trends, cities in the past look almost unrecognizable when compared to modern times. Traffic, crowds, and big billboards are just some of the new developments in cities as years fly by.
