This Week:
What: Neighborhood after a snowfall.
Why: It is blurry, and drably lit, but this little slice of urbanity really does embody the feel of being out amid a dense neighborhood on a chilly day after a light snowfall. I recognized the style of street sign, and had a pretty good inkling of where this was located, so it gave me confidence that I could discern the location. The neighborhood seems to be doing pretty nicely these days.
When: Likely sometime around 1957 based on the style of slide mount.
Where: Brooklyn, NY. Obviously, the big clue is the street sign. The street sign is a telltale New York City style humpback sign, and it is readily legible in the photo. It took only a modest amount of searching to discern the exact location to be in the borough of Brooklyn.

Who: Despite the density of New York, the autos appear mostly anonymous, and only a single pedestrian can be spotted.!
How (much): I picked up this for $4.99 on ebay.
