This Week:
What: Hustle and Bustle
Why: You would be hard pressed to find a better example of a vintage photo that blends a busy street scene full of classic cars with a thriving retail scene running right up along it. This scene manages to do just that. I can picture the photographer anxiously awaiting the last car in the pack to zip through before walking to the center, and quickly and carefully composing this great shot of a busy retail district in the 1950's.
When: A Spring Day in 1958.
Where: Miami, FL. I knew Flagler Avenue to be the location based upon writing on the mount, and upon more investigation, the area remains as a retail hub in Miami. The scene is still busy though it lacks quite the workaday charm of the original photo.
Who: Lots of folks who blend into the scene.
How (much): $6.99 on ebay.
