Press Release Summary: Although its reach is large, thehistorybox.com focuses a particularly long lens on New York City's travel experience past and present.

Press Release Body: Miriam Medina, a native New Yorker who grew up in Manhattan is the author of the narration "Yikes! What A Way to Go....New York City's Travel Experience." Also included in her narrative is a chronological compilation of historical facts from the 18th, 19th and 20th century which she has researched and documented reflecting on the development and growth of New York City's public transportation and its infrastructure for the years 1642-2000, evolving inevitably to the transportation crisis of today. This immense undertaking, which only touched the tip of the iceberg, is derived from extensive research of newspapers, trustworthy books and web links that are credible and accurate. This wealth of information offers the reader a glimpse into the travel experience that the citizens of the city of New York faced over the past centuries.

Manhattan, known as the financial center of the United States, is where a large amount of passenger and traffic movement originates, develops and is distributed to the neighboring boroughs. The lower part of Manhattan is where the overwhelming congestion of vehicles and passengers are moving everywhere and at the same time nowhere, thus creating transportation problems that is becoming much more difficult to solve. Through this narrative and chronology you will observe how frustrated State and local officials repeatedly try to find solutions in accommodating the increasing demands of traffic in response to the outcries of the populace for an improved travel experience.
