This’ll be the third time we’ve seen the billboards for Montclair, New Jersey-based Clairidge Lincoln-Mercury in street scene photos found on the Duke University Libraries Digital Collections, so one would think we’d eventually come across vintage photos of the actual dealership. Until then, let’s take a look at today’s street scene. What do you see here? And can anybody pinpoint the location?
Both of these photos of Hereford, Texas, as found on the Portal to Texas History, are rather ambiguously dated, so let’s see if we can help narrow the date down a little bit by examining the vehicles in the photos. What do you see here?
Jan.29 (GMM) Recovered from an operation to remove a forty centimetre rod from his once badly broken leg, Mark Webber on Tuesday said he is ready to hit the track in 2013.”Now I’m back into it (training) properly,” said the Australian.But, back with Red Bull for another season, the 36-year-old also turned his attention to some recent criticism fired at him by the outspoken Dr Helmut Marko.Marko, openly fonder of the team’s triple world champion Sebastian Vettel, aimed jibes at Webber’s alleged dips in fo…
A couple years ago, we found a shot of a jampacked parking lot in Washington, D.C., shot during a bus strike in May 1974 by Jim Pickerell for the Documerica project. Pickerell had shot plenty more photos of that strike, but we weren’t able to come up with any more full-size images from that series until just recently. No locations specified for these shots, so if you’re familiar with our nation’s capital, see if you can pinpoint where Pickerell took them.

Yesterday, Clemens Gleich brought you Part 1 of his authoritative guide to the Autobahn, due to overwhelming success, today Part 2. If you ask how Clemens became Minister of High-Speed Transport Propaganda – stranger things happened in Deutschland. A formerly leather-clad radical was made Secretary of State, and the province of Daimler and Porsche has a green governor. Expect to be surprised! – BS
2. The Location
Many foreigners think that every Autobahn is bas…
We’ve seen this particular location in our street scene series before – it’s a favorite of one of our favorites, Charles Cushman – but the last time we saw it was in the spring. We figured this shot from a couple months prior would fit in well with the wintertime shots we’ve been posting this week. What do you see here?
A couple more C. William Brubaker shots of mid-Seventies Chicago today. Above, East Oak Street from North Michigan Avenue, and below, East Chicago Avenue between Wabash and Rush, both portions of the cityscape that haven’t changed all that much over the last few decades. What do you see here?

Since my last entry involved Crooked Customer behavior, I think its only fair that I give equal time to that of the Shady Shop. Rather than merely relating what have most certainly become cliché’—and I’ve pretty much heard them all—I’m going to relate a few accounts in which I personally have been on the receiving end, as either a consumer or a shop owner.
They really stand out due to a few factors, not the least of which is the absolute unflinching nerve, if not downright out-and-out …
