Today's view more resembles a backlot set, waiting to be 'dressed' for a production, rather than a real world 'working' street that is so beautifully captured back in 1961. The things we've done in the name of "progress".Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-22949357234519969052013-03-30T00:50:42.168-07:002013-03-30T00:50:42.168-07:00Both of today’s images are very nice.

You did a great job on the alignment of the Google Map views.<br /><br />The Central City Google image completely lacks the charm and character seen in your original 1961 image. Without the power poles, power lines, the Holiday House lighted marquee gone and the general lack of signage it seems a little too neat and clean when comparing it to your 1961 vintage image. I think I’d enjoy visiting the 1961 Central City a lot more.K.

It sounds more at home in an episode of <i>Leave It to Beaver,</i> as the destination for a day 'car trip'.<br /><br />Thanks.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.com
