Lark Street, ca. 1970

I posted this on Flickr a couple of years ago, a very random shot found among my grandmother-in-law’s photographs. A very weird shot, in that we can’t imagine what they were up to in that part of town; there are a couple of others just as random. I’m now pretty convinced this is Lark Street, the intersection you can see is Spruce Street, and the deadhead in the upper left is Clinton Avenue. A little detective work showed that the only sign that is legible, for Alco Roofing, goes with a business that was located at 186-188 Elk Street in 1965. Whether they moved or had another office, or perhaps connected through the back yard to an address around the corner on Elk Street, who knows. Click here for the modern-day Google Streetview.
