I was looking at that also a little while ago. At first I was comparing what the guy was wearing in both photos to see if it was the same and couldn’t tell for sure.
Then I looked at the street. The older post has umbrellas with street vendors lining the length of the road. The recent drop has vehicular traffic. Perhaps they close the street down for weekends or holidays and open it up for the vendors?
Something else different.
The overhead has no traffic painted lines at the intersection.
