That shot with the three horse drawn streetcars <i>is</i> a win, but not just because of those streetcars...but because of the lady (to the right of the drinking fountain) dressed to color-coordinate with the waste can!<br /><br />I'm looking forward to seeing more from this batch - thanks, Dave!<br /><br />Sue"Lou and Sue"https://www.blogger.com/profile/10832854372696376918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-3515009680803112822020-09-14T11:42:52.578-07:002020-09-14T11:42:52.578-07:00Three horse drawn streetcars at once in a shot is ...Three horse drawn streetcars at once in a shot is a win!Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05702170323899739703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-57692206334483728472020-09-14T11:00:50.531-07:002020-09-14T11:00:50.531-07:00Makes me think that many of those folks were reliv...Makes me think that many of those folks were reliving their own youth there on Main Street back in those days.
