Drs. K & K: 1910
Detroit, 1910. "Michigan Avenue at Griswold Street and Lafayette Boulevard." Where Drs. Kennedy & Kergan's giant electrified sign advertises their MEN CURE. And, across the street, we have Stereopticons and Reflectoscopes. 8x10 inch glass negative. View full size.
Do yourself a favor
If you get to Detroit, find this corner for some delicious Detroit Coney Island hotdogs. The brightly-painted triangular building is the home of the American (1917) and Lafayette (1924) Coney Island restaurants, two of the earliest to offer this style hotdog.
Also, do yourself a favor and don't look up any of the obscure medical terms in the advertisements Dave posted.
New idea
Those cars are sporting 1910 Michigan license plates; the first year the state issued them. For the previous five years, you had to register your car with the state and make your own plates with the number they gave you. Most were house numbers put on a leather base.
