A quest to find his grandmother's birthplace led Richard Marc Sakols on a mission to capture his changing neighborhood on film.
If there’s something to know about working at Untapped Cities, it’s that founder Michelle Young has a little obsession with the Peanuts (and Space Invaders, which are scattered in secret places throughout the office).

Mashable recreated in flash mob form the iconic scene from A Charlie Brown Christmas to the tune of the Vince Guaraldi trio next to the Flatiron Building. The video alternates between scenes of the actual TV special (played on a TV sitting in recent snow) and real life performers.

Then the rest of the gang like Linus and Sally arrive, and finally Snoopy on guitar.
