I have the camera on my bookshelf. And all of these buildings that were downtown Harrisburg were long ago torn down. Looking at Google Earth it looks like they were replaced with a more modern version of row houses. Maybe someday I'll get back to PA again and find out.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-1038647612354988262019-02-04T14:00:51.937-11:002019-02-04T14:00:51.937-11:00He appears to have always been quite dapper.He appears to have always been quite dapper.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-14598532377665901122019-02-04T14:00:32.629-11:002019-02-04T14:00:32.629-11:00Thank you.

It looks like the work of an amateur photographer using a box camera, and yet the two are buttoned up in a kind of formal pose, not backyard casual dress. I like divided balconies, and the evidence of spring cleaning with the rugs on the fence.Mike Brubakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13065245846262417519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-705729522351822322019-02-02T18:57:38.295-11:002019-02-02T18:57:38.295-11:00A great match to the prompt pic!
