"East Side" Dave of the Morning Rat Race here.   So, I was falling through an Internet vortex of funny animal videos and presidential debate gifs, when I stumbled upon this amazing thread on Twitter. 

It's a series of videos of various cities throughout the world; captured at the end of the 1800's and beginning of 1900's.

I have no idea why...but I went from one video to another (as there are thirty-one of them)...and found the whole experience to be rather calming if not hypnotizing.

Check this retro awesomeness out below!
