Great find! The real coup is to find old pictures of your own neighborhood -- to help in that, I geocoded the images that had street addresses associated with them. Here's a map: http://maps.google.com/maps...

Enjoy!

Insanely great, Todd ... those before and after shots made me do a (literal) double take! That would have been cool enough on its own, but Cushman's collection is an absolute treasure.

Actually you have Todd to thank for this guest post and the discovery of the amazing photo collection.

This is brilliant. I love the two pics, but I'm seriously stoked about the link. Being a US history teacher in this town means so many great resources. I will enjoy staying up past my bedtime with this site. Thanks Scott. Now go back to watching The Wire.
