Looking south from 281 Mott Street
On every little balcony . . .
. . . flowers and vegetables; the streamers; the flags; the people; the lovely young woman in the foreground, guarded by the elderly grandmas/aunts! And, of course, the patriotism and caring of the community. I'd love to walk right into this photo and find myself in 1942. Wonder what the street looks like today.
