New for Old
While googling around for the old Budapest pics in the last post I came across a fantastic site that matches up new and old Budapest. If you know or remember the streets of Bp, then it's a must-see site.
It concentrates on forgotten tram routes but it looks like they ran everywhere. Click here then scroll down and click on a street you know. For example, try Bajcsy to see the 49 tram rolling down the street (today it only runs from Deák Ferenc tér).

Great pics. In addition to your comments ...
#1 is the corner of Bajcsy and Andrassy. Most of these buildings look exactly the same as now. Missing a metro stop though and that building on the left now houses a used book shop.
#7 is definitely Oktogon in my mind. The metro stop's in the right place and the building at the very left of the pic is now the Burger King.
#8 is the Vig szinhaz on Szt Isvan krt. Again, looks the same as now but missing all the buildings looming over it from behind.
Excellent stuff.
