The funny thing is you can tell exactly where that picture was taken. The buildings really haven’t changed that much. I wish the sidewalks were still like that, there is ugly bushes and clutter there now ---

I do see one car though, near side of the street semi behind a tree. Looks more like some sort of delivery truck. and it looks much earlier than a '30’s truck. Id say 1916 would be closer to the actual date as well. ---
