Got some old phone books?

Thanks Mike. We do know how
Thanks Mike. We do know how to do the leg work--just thought someone might actually recognize the spot, or at least have fun coming up with the answer.

Dear Joy and the rest of our
Dear Joy and the rest of our friends at the Collection: We believe this image to be a ca. 1940 shot of the soon-to-be condemned area along the north side of Myrtle Avenue, looking east to Navy Street, seen from front of frame building at left, #221, housing Marvin's Cut Rate. Directories were of no use; our only clue on the poor scan was the steel elevated column, trolley tracks, and the address number on a store. Lee and I are nearly certain we are correct, and hope additional data bears us out. Best Wishes, Brian Merlis & Lee A. Rosenzweig 5/1/08
