A few CVRR pictures and some other related pictures....2

Regardless of patina, I think the building, in either picture, looks scary. And forbidding. (But maybe that indicates I've seen too many movies and too much tv. )

Reminds you of the asylum all those years ago where you spent all that happy time with Nurse Ratchet?

Mmaaaaybeee.

That's why you like the 3 rail trains - the smell of the ozone brings back memories of those happy times with the electrodes,

No, it reminds me of a time in life when all I had to concern myself with was what to play with next.

Market Street, Selinsgrove, Pa

I'd imagine those front porches helped facilitate a healthy feeling of community, with folks sitting out there ready to greet and converse with passersby neighbors. The whole neighborhood seems welcoming.

One of the things that I have noticed in all the last pictures that Rufus posted of the neighborhoods and the business streets is that they are void of inhabitants. No people out and about. Maybe just the time of day the pictures were taken.

You and others have pointed this aspect several times now. Time of day; maybe..... Warnings of zombies on the prowl; maybe. Everyone is at work, school, inside homes working......probably part of the answer. Maybe folks were not out and about all the time like they are today.

That last photo does have a few out and about on the road and at the sidewalk area.

I don't believe that I had said that before because I have been more interested in other aspects of the picture. Even to the point of trying to find what the same location looks like today on google maps and have posted some of what I have found.

Nothing negative on my part, it was just an observation that I never really paid any attention to in the past. This is one of the best threads we have so keep the pictures coming.

It was the others that noted this several times before. It's a mystery to me but it's also probably something very simple, too.

Yes, and looking at some of these today via Google maps can be interesting - some are close to unchanged, some are heavily modified, and some are just gone.

It's possible that the photographer asked people to avoid an area because "picture taking" was much slower then and they didn't want to ruin film with movement. You might also notice that many photos are in the fall and winter when trees do not have leaves. Not all are like this.

A good point.

Two points I would offer about the photo immediately above:
+ I had thought such pictures were taken in the morning, but the shade of the trees seems to be directly under them; thus, suggesting, to me, that it is high-noon.
+I do see a female, wearing white, on the left, nearer a house, and I believe I see a man sitting on the edge of the porch on the right, wearing a white Stetson-style hat and white shirt.

Yes, and there's also a man in the street and I hope that's a person driving the automobile in the distance as well,

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Oh yes, I see that man in the street now, too. I notice he seems to be casting no shadow in front of him nor behind him, so again, perhaps it's Noontime-ish.

I wonder what the upright sign in the middle of the roadway (foreground) is. Odd.
