All municipalities have a Business Registry for taxes, etc. In my hometown, I actually managed to dig around, some, long ago. There is a sort of record for every business, (theoretically) even in Manhattan… some day, some ambitious OCD-type should be able to generate a map that will be able to show the history of the businesses that existed in every building.

Hi Frank,
I don’t think you’re necessarily attracting timeline shows to yourself. It’s the new fad right now. A few years ago, everything was zombies. Now, zombies are gone and the new fad is timelines. In a couple of years, it’ll be something else.
And I absolutely despise the way the new Dodge Charger cars look. I hate the huge, bubble-looking, boxy front grille (<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UMBqCvlG9wE/Tm0I1225qgI/AAAAAAAAP3Y/shgGgWJjDcs/s1600/Dodge%2BCharger%2Bsrt8%2B%25252815%252529.jpg"example). I feel like muscle cars are supposed to look more angular and sleek (<a href="http://www.get-in2.com/musclecars/1970_ford_torino_cobra.jpg"example).
