Upper West Side

The Upper West Side is a neighborhood of Manhattan facing the Hudson River. It developed in the 1870's following the extension of the Ninth Avenue Elevated Railroad there, making easy commute to Midtown possible. Many of the original brownstone row houses built in the 1890's can still be seen there today.

Upper West Side is home to a number of famous institutions, among them the American Museum of Natural History, the Columbus Circle Complex and Lincoln Center.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
