60 Then-and-Now Photos That Show Us How Different Places Have Changed Over the Years

Pictured is a Polish city street that helps show the transformations our world has undergone for the past two centuries. These photos are incredible, they show us the memory of an empty dirt road that is currently overflowing with shops, restaurants, pharmacies, inner-city-train-tracks, and cars. 

It’s not really that much of a surprise; we know the world has changed drastically over the past two centuries, and mostly, change is a welcomed, positive thing. From history books and testimonies, we have a pretty good idea of just how much life has changed over the last two centuries, and yet seeing it is different than hearing about it.
