Thanks also for the tip of the Looking into the Past: Before & After Flickr group http://www.flickr.com/groups/lookingintothepast/pool/with/4931871347/ I just joined it! LOVE the before and after photo - but sometimes it does make me a bit melancholy that some spectacular buildings are long gone. Cheers, neighbor! <br />~Gwyneth <br /><br />PS.

Many a rainy weekend were spent going over every picture I could from the first issue covering the 1890's to the last one which I think was the 1960's. I had always hoped more would come out, don't know if they ever did.<br /><br />Then there's Shorpy. As a DC-area resident, I also pore over the local photos and try to keep up with them, but the addiction often becomes too great.<br /><br />To top it off, there's a Flickr collection that take Shorpy's shots, and juxtaposes them with today's crowds: http://www.flickr.com/groups/lookingintothepast/pool/with/4931871347/<br /><br />enjoy.Kevin McDermotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08912738691244054414noreply@blogger.com
