The cart horses
It seems a majority of the time we get horses in photos like this, the poor old beasts are rail-thin and beaten down. I always think of the children's story Black Beauty, and the terrible suffering he endured at the hands of men. BB got a happy ending, not so for these poor horses and mules.
The entire street
is covered with poo. Exhaust fumes have always been with us.
Garlic's?
At first, I was surprised to discover that today's practice of naming an establishment after the possessive form of a key ingredient apparently dates back a century. Then I realized it's Garic's, not Garlic's.
Still there, 105 years later
Garic's is now a set of tourist shops, but dat buildin' still dere, dawlin'.
On his last legs
I wish I could step into this photo and buy some apples for the starving horse. Poor thing, he needs some TLC.
