Gates down

Submitted by jimboylan on Fri, 10/09/2020 - 2:55pm.

I see three of the four crossing gates are down. The fourth is off the lower left side of the photo. This style of crossing has a gate on all four corners.

The Crossing Gate Conumdrum

The near crossing gate that Phare Pleigh mentioned is definitely down but the one near the crossing guard's house is still up. Is the guard sleeping?

Am I the only one hearing the voice of Robert Preston?

"You got one, two, three, four, five, six pockets in a table.
Pockets that mark the diff'rence
Between a gentlemen and a bum,
With a capital "B,"
And that rhymes with "P" and that stands for pool!"

Smoke in the Distance

And the crossing gate is down to the left of Sullivan's. If only the photographer had waited a little longer we could have seen the train.

Very legible lettering

Submitted by pinstripe52 on Thu, 10/08/2020 - 10:43am.

Some long-forgotten sign painter did a very good job on this wall. The window displays also reveal design skills. Wonder if this was paid for in cash or traded out for a bar tab and table fees.
