I know everybody and his mother has been pushing this website, but I thought I would give it a plug, too, because I LOVE IT!
PhillyHistory.org is a mapping website that allows users to search for, view by location, and purchase thousands of historic photographs dating back to the late nineteenth century.
It is a most excellent Time Waster at work. You start searching for every place you've ever lived in Philadelphia to peep what it looked like back in the day, and before you know it, it's time for lunch! And it feels like you're learning something- it's history, man! Much more gratifying of a Time Waste than scanning TMZ to see who forgot to wear their panties today.
