Timeline
We decided to make the timeline as a refresher as to which places Holden goes and in what order. it was meant to be the first thing you click on
Map
We put the map in to fill the gaps that the timeline didn't for example, the timeline showed you the when and the what, but the map was meant to show you the where.
Review
The last piece of the puzzle was why Holden went to each place.
Advertisements
We put this in to show you what normal things looked like back then, and how they've changed, for example, cigarette ads are way less common than they were back then.
Top ten list
The idea here was to say that if you were to visit New York at some point, here's the spots we recommend you hit.
Song
We put this in because it felt like a good summary of the book.

Bombastic and colorful advertising was common which makes sense considering this ad was supposed to cater towards kids.

Cigarettes were all the rage so ads like this were commonplace around the city.

This piece was written to give you some background on what Holden’s New York looked like. New York City in 1951 was a bustling metropolis of music and business. It was home to three of the biggest record labels in the country and people came from miles around to try their luck in the big apple. You could see women in poodle skirts, or men with giant sideburns. You could see kids playing in the streets with the newly invented hula hoop, or playing games like “kick the can”. It wasn’t all fun and games though, the city was also home to over 100,000 homeless people, many of whom were mentally challenged due to major cutbacks in physic ward funding. Prostitution was also extremely common in New York and many bars had “extra entertainment” in the back if requested.

Dear Reader,

If you are someone who either doesn’t live in New York City or hasn’t spent much time there, Holden’s adventure through New York can seem confusing and complicated.  So we’ve decided to make his journey a little more clear. We’ll show every (real) place that Holden visits, where they are in comparison to each other, and images of what that place looked like in the early 1950s and what it looks like now. We also decided to share how that place changed because of its mention in The Catcher in the Rye and some additional fictional pieces to give you a sense of what life was like in New York City in 1951.

From,

Ryan Sacramone and Ronald DeMyers.
