The Storefront Project will progress, it will, it will!

Just not sure when.

So in themeantime, I’ll try to keep your interest alive: Here's another tease, this one from 1936.

Love the dog.

Can any of you identify roughly which street and neighborhood this is (within a few blocks)? Here’s a clue: You don’t have to cross a river to get there from Downtown.

This picture was taken along a long retail corridor — once thriving, like all of them — that is now a threadbare, retail desert.

The neighborhood will be among the next ones to be added to the Storefront Project, after the Mexican War Streets, which is tentatively scheduled to be on-line Feb. 19 but may be pushed back even further.

Please stay interested. It will be worth it.

I think this picture was taken on Butler Street around 36th street, probably looking away from downtown.........

Maybe I'm wrong, but that dog only has 3 legs.

hmm. that section of butler is hardly a threadbare retail desert. with the hillside seemingly on the left, my guess is it's uptown - maybe 5th ave?
