Camera is facing southwest. Looks like the construction site in front of St Patricks is now part of North Western University, according to Google.

Black and white works here, brings back memories of working in a darkroom.

Thanks for the link. Now how do you stop looking? Page after page. I could spend days here.

“Now how do you stop looking”
LOL a passing severe storm knocks out your power. The site is very interesting and to look at those old images brings back the good ol’ days.

Good to see that it’s so well liked. That makes a smile for the face.
