Recent flea market acquisition. Sorry for image quality, taken with my phone as I do not have a scanner. They look to be around 1973ish, anyone want to help out?

The car in #6 sure looks like a gremlin.

Well done Lowell. Your earlier life in the Corridor is showing. I pored over the photos before looking at your responses and came to pretty much all the same conclusions, although these pictures are from a few years before most of my time in that neighborhood.

The exact location of photo 6 stopped me for a moment, before I noticed the name on the building on the right. I think photo 7 is a few blocks up from where you located it, at Second and Forest - just around the corner from #4. And speaking of photo 4, what the heck is that half-bus thing pictured there? It appears to have a guy and a dog riding on its back deck.

Picture #1 is Second & Temple. The Ansonia Apartments is the building on the right side of the photograph. The Masonic Temple is just east of here across Second from the Ansonia.
