Alcatraz Island - Alcatraz Island (U.S. National Park Service). Alcatraz Island offers a close-up look at the site of the first lighthouse and US fort on the West Coast, an infamous federal penitentiary long off-limits to the public (and despised by inmates), and the historic 18 month occupation by Indians of All Tribes. Rich in cultural history, there is also a natural side to the Rock - gardens, tide pools, bird colonies, and bay views beyond compare.

Forgotten NY.
THE PAST is all around us in New York. It's on the buildings high above and in the subways and tunnels deep below. It's even in the paths the streets take. This site is your gateway to a New York City that existed long ago -- and still exists in a hidden form today. On this site we'll show you remnants of a NYC of long ago, as well as unusual scenes not ordinarily associated with New York.

Nothing like the Cuba we seen on Auf Weidersehen, Pet
The Real Cuba.
Once considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Havana is today a city in ruins.
This is the Havana that the tourists don't see, because the tourists stay in compounds where Cubans are not allowed to enter, but this is the Havana where the real Cubans live!
And in addition to destroying Havana, Castro's stupidity, cruelty and mismanagement has destroyed the entire Cuban nation!
Over 200,000 deaths, over 2,000,000 exiles, 46 years without the most elemental freedoms, 46 years without being able to choose their leaders in a free election, 46 years of suffering and sacrifices to end up like this!
City Population contains the populations for all the countries in the world as well as major towns and cities.
