another A-I enhanced and colored photo of Auburn WA south of me about two hours

Nice.

I LOVE it. I have a few old photos of our town, Maryville, Blount County, TN. that dates back to 1795 but none as good as that. One does have old 30's cars in it but one has horses! The old bank is still here and the streets look very much the same as they did then. Shirl and I were married in the old Courthouse; last pic.

Great picture Galen. I notice the Ford Model A Sport Coupe is parked across the street, keeping it's distance, from the Chevrolet dealership.

Great pictures guys. I love these nostalgic photos. 💯

Earliest photo I have of Kansas City, Mo.

Horses and dirt/mud streets! It don't get any better than that!

@bob-jackman  Perhaps it's sitting there while his owner is negotiating a trade-in?

@gdh Possibly.

that is outstanding Galen, just the right amount of color to still indicate 'period correct'

Gotta love the good old days...gents thanks for the pics.

I suspect one would have to walk carefully if horses were on the street. Maybe the good old days were not so good after all.

 

I used to love to talk to the oldest insurance agents that I called on years ago. Their stories were priceless. One such agent/friend, was a man named Arthur Kirby, Sr., in Ft. Worth, TX. He had lived there most of his life and liked to talk about the early years. The bank leased him a horse and cart at no charge, to call on clients to try to sell them insurance. The streets were this same mud & dirt that we're discussing today. 

He explained that they had horse-drawn "Manure Wagons" that drug a "rail" to scoop it together. When there was sufficient amounts, the two-man team would stop and shovel it into the wagon and continue on.

@sizedoesmatter Now there's motivation for a man to further his education and move on up in life!
