INCREDIBLY INTERESTING, MACK! THANKS FOR THAT INPUT. WOULD I EVER LIKE TO FIND A PHOTO ALBUM FROM 1912 BY A PHOTOG WHO DID BACK THEN WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW!
THINK ABOUT IT: IF OUR DIGITAL FILES SURVIVE, FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL LOVE TO SEE THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE BUILDINGS AS THEY LOOKED WAY BACK IN 2009!

A Photo Album of the Burg taken
from 1976 done well might kill me
from the excitement....but I would die happy:)))
Tom. I actually lived at 728 Cass St., in the early 60's. So neat!
