A shorpy gem from 110 years back; Washington Blvd n. from Michigan Ave.

Well played.

Nice pause to add some tension then...zing.

Tension and release is critical to comedy and music.

Ray keep on posting the Shorpy pics. They never fail to spark conversation and garner insights into our collective past.

Oh, I shall, just to irritate the naysayers, if nothing else.

Yes, keep 'em coming Ray!

I enjoy these too, and don't know where to see the originals in their full detail. [[Shorpy doesn't say.)

BTW, it used to be constructive criticism was welcomed as a learning opportunity. Kids sure are sensitive these days.

Certainly is far too old to be a kid that was complaining....

Here is a great photo forensics tool you can use to inspect what digital retouching manipulations have been done:

I can see spending hours and hours on that tool!

Looks like it was a beautiful wide street. I love seeing pics of how the city looked in the past, how folks dressed, forms of transportation at the time, the designs of buildings, etc.
