Re- ScarberiaMy parents put a second story addition on that house in 1970, put in that entrance way and tandemed the garage, with the exception of the trees and shrubs on the front lawn, that's pretty much how it looked when my Dad sold it, I don't live too far away from there, but haven't driven by it recently. ScarberiaI spent a couple of years during college living in "Scarberia" (on Painted Post). This could be any house, on any street. Looking at Streetview, the house has changed considerably over the years!

Beautiful West Covina, summertime in the Southern California smog! Thankfully Southern California is in much better shape, air-pollution wise. My brown friend (I was the white one) and I are enjoying the pleasures of the sprinklers and the water hose in our front yard. He and I were inseparable from when we were babies until age 9 when my family moved. I last saw him in 1978, for his wedding. Sad how we lose touch. Alert members will recall I posed with my Dad in this yard in my very first picture posted here. View full size. DynaflowTime to start the guessing of the make and model of the car in the background. I will open with a 1953 Buick. You can tell it's Californiaby the palm tree trunk in the back. Best friends foreverIt is hard to hold on to those friends we grew up with so long ago. Reminds me of my summers in Huntington Beach where the greatest summer joy was the front yard, friends, and sprinklers! You can see a stop sign in the distanceThe street is called Lark Ellen Avenue and there were many palm trees back planted along its length in the '50s. I still go by the old place now and then. It appears to be in decent shape. The neighborhood is a mixture of well-maintained homes and some that need paint and landscaping. Thanks for your comment! (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

622 North Carolina Ave S.E., in the Eastern Market District of Capitol Hill, Washington DC. As seen in 2008, for comparison with 1926 photo. Note the round window, a feature relatively unique in Capitol Hill row-houses. Most, if not all, of the houses in the 1926 photo remain but unfortunately trees and shrubs prevent a good overall street-view comparison. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

1919. "Cadillac touring car at rail stop." H Line streetcars of the San Francisco Municipal Railway. 5x7 glass negative by Christopher Helin. View full size. Foot of Van Ness AvenueIt took a bit of time to locate this view of the two H-cars. The location is a very different landscape today! The cars are stopped near the north end of Van Ness Avenue where it crosses Bay Street, with Angel Island across the bay dimly visible in the far distance. The trees and water tank at left were part of the tiny military post of Fort Mason. The open block to the left of the Cadillac had recently been occupied by the Panama Pacific International Exposition (PPIE) of 1915. The concrete trolley wire poles with their ornate cast iron tops are also vestiges of the recently-closed PPIE. Many of these poles still survive along Van Ness Avenue today and serve as light posts. If you look closely you can see at least four in the contemporary view of Van Ness Avenue attached. Have You Seen A Hat Trick Lately?Well now you have. The third appearance of this man and his Cadillac with previous appearances in a "Couple of Cads" here and "Leftward Ho" over here. He definitely does not need the H Train to get around.

This time I challenged myself. There are no color references of this location, circa 1903. My goal was to make it as alive as if this photograph was taken today. The biggest challenge was the color of the road. Eventually I spotted some snow patches on one of the roofs and that made me realize this was snow on the ground.

This is a redwood tree ready to be felled. No chainsaws then. Most likely Humbolt [or would that be Humboldt, with a D?] County, California. LocationLooks like pre 20th century and could have been virtually anywhere in the redwood region from Del Norte County down to Santa Cruz. All along the coastmid to late 1800s is good guess. Could actually be anywhere along the California coast between the Oregon border and Santa Cruz. Looks like it might be a drier redwood site - no ferns visible. Trees aren't real giants.

Kodachrome slide by Hubert Tuttle. View full size. Bows on boys?What's with the bows on the boys' caps? Isn't that a little odd? I have three (grown) boys, and I wouldn't think of putting bows on them when they were growing up! They would have had a fit! Yes, Bows, But Manly Bows!The boys' caps are styled after the caps worn by jockeys at that time. A stable's registered colors were often rather complex, particularly in Britain, and the bow provided an opportunity to display or reiterate a third color. Now that sanity has prevailed and jockeys wear hard hats both on the flat and over hedges, multicolored helmet covers and the jockey's shirt reflect the owning stable's colors, but the black, velvet-covered hard hats worn for other equestrian events still usually sport a bow, though often in back.

Circa 1907. "Main Street, Northampton, Massachusetts." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size. Local Lawyer On His Way UpThe town of Northampton just elected one of its local attorneys and a former member of the city council to the Massachusetts House of Representatives. The election was close even though the state was reliably Republican back then. But the young man had made a favorable impression on his neighbors as a hard worker with a reputation for honesty and diligence. And unlike most of his fellow politicians he was said to be a man who was as parsimonious with the public's money as he was with his words. People were already calling Mr. Coolidge "silent Cal." Might be I got family in this oneMy maternal grandmother's family had deep roots in the Northampton area, mostly around Williamsburg and Haydenville (the family farm is now a golf course just off Route 9). Great-grandma was a girl of just about 10 at the time, and both her parents had large extended families. So I think it highly likely I've got kin photobombing this shot somewhere along the street. Not so very different looking todayI like the trees and the lack of overhead wires today, but the clothes and transportation were a lot more stylish-looking back then.

Right Shoulder, Car!That looks to me like a 1956 Buick behind the lady. Hard to tell the exact model. What a treatTo see River Park when it was "new." I was a 9-year-old in Old Land Park (right next to Taylor's Market, although I think it may have still been a Safeway back then) in 1962, and we already had big trees. Hats and GlovesBack then old traditions died hard: ladies never went anywhere without hats and gloves, or so it seemed. My late mom could have been equally dressed on many occasions, right down to the single gardenia corsage (her favorite for "best" occasions like a wedding anniversary, and always brought delivered from Rust Florist as a "surprise" afternoon gift from my dad)... Around 2000, mom decided to let go of all her old best clothes, hats, gloves from the '40s and '50s. I convinced her not to toss them, but we'd instead take them down to a local "costume" shop specializing in "retro" fashion. The young women running the place were all proto-hipsters, and were astounded at the cut of each piece (quite a lot of the dresses or jackets hand-stitched in or near the waistline)...the beautiful, dressy hats, the stoles...kidskin and white cotton (tailored) gloves! Mom was astounded, too. She easily got around $500 for a lot of stuff that had been hanging in the back of her closet, and the hats in their old round hat boxes... (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

Here are my maternal grandparents, outside our house in West Covina, California. I first showed them in my previous picture, "The Outsider," taken about 16-17 years after this one was taken. In this picture my granddad was working for TWA at Los Angeles International Airport servicing and inspecting the pride of the fleet, the beautiful Lockheed Constellation. They were both about 54 or 55 here. Grandma had her ever present Camel unfiltered and lighter in her hand. Cadillac buffs should be able to identify the model year of Granddad's huge black Caddy, complete with metal window shades. I think it is a Fleetwood, circa 1954. I was small, and that car was so big. Finally, they were really nice and I enjoyed their grandparenthood. He died in 1983 and she followed a year later. View full size.

When I was much younger, my father used to take us out to Belle Isle to Ice Skate and to see the Ice fountain. They would lean Christmas trees against a pole that had a water pipe and spray head (as far as I remember). The pole, pipe and spray head are all still there, but they haven't created an ice fountain in who knows how many years. You would think this year they would have done it again given the harsh winter we had. Stunning!I've been staring at the picture for five minutes straight. If I'd been there, that day, I could have stared at it for hours! I've seen fountains frozen up like that, in Europe. Especially if the sun comes out, there really isn't anything more beautiful!

The original is on Shorpy, here: https://www.shorpy.com/node/11852 I have cropped and resized the image to fit my screen (as computer wallpaper), so there are bits from the original missing here. I searched for color(ed) pictures of Congress Hall on the web, but turned up nuthin'. So, the color scheme is mine, entirely, and likely not correct. But I think it looks believable. I did find bottles of Hathorn Springs spring water, but no color labels. The bottles were bright green glass, however, so I made the sign roughly the same color. I used a lot of the same techniques in this colorization as I used in the last one; trying to use multiple blended colors on most surfaces. For everything from the leaves on the trees to their shadows on the pavement, I used a gazillion different shades to try and give the picture a realistic look. Whether I succeeded or not is a judgement for its audience to make, of course. View full size. Nicely done! Having never tried to colorize a photo, other than some feeble attempts many years ago with water colors, I Really like this. The facade and portico of Congress Hall are very well done.
