The application, Museum of the Phantom City (whose web version goes live Saturday, for those of us without iPhones), is just another awesome example of how innovative and creative smartphone applications can be, using cutting edge technology to enhance our experience of the city, give us a deeper understanding of its past and inform our decisions about its future. So next time you're dreading a trip to Midtown, just remember that if Buckminster Fuller had had his way, the whole area would be under a glass dome. (Curbed)
