Nuestro Pueblo

 

Even allowing for artistic license, it's difficult to see how Charles Owens could have City Hall looming in the background from our blacksmith shop on Garey Street. Below, a view from 1st Street and Garey via Google maps' street view. Owens would have been several blocks farther away for this July 1, 1938, entry.

Larry -

I absolutely love this Nuestro Pueblo stuff. Its like the 1938's version of Project1947. Comparing then and now is extremely interesting.

Larry,

It's 1938 style reporting. I can see the top of the City Hall in the street scene photo, maybe not looming, but "looming," like beauty, is in the eyes of the beholder
