Other than that, great job.

I just like to leave photos in their original context.

But that's just me.

Thanks for sharing.

But the one of Anne Frank choked me up. She looks so happy...

Thanks for posting these! Very cool!

The trees are gone on the main street here, but many of the old buildings remain. This one is my favorite... My grandmother probably saw it this way.

I loved looking at the photos, but this one was a bonus! It's still a historic town, but so many of the old buildings, huge hotels, are gone now. The pic from 1908 shows the main street (Broadway) in its heyday.

This is the only hotel left on the west side of the street, where the 1908 pic was taken.
