The building across the street from the high school is under construction in this 1923 photo. Do you know what it is and if it is still there.

Which way do I go?

Submitted by davidk on Thu, 04/02/2015 - 5:58pm.

I hold the steering wheel this way and the car wheels go straight and follow the tracks going straight. But what if I follow this curve? Yes, that curve, there. The one in the road. And then how I do press the gas pedal if I'm standing out here holding the steering wheel? Oh, Mother said there'd be days like this.
