REMEMBER ELIZABETH STREET WHEN IT HAD TREES LINING IT?




















(Ed.'s Note: One of our favorite contributors sent us this photo of Elizabeth Street when it was still unpaved and lined with trees.We're not botanists and can't tell what kind of trees those were, but we notice that there isn't one palm tree to be seen. That makes us wonder how it was that palm trees were selected to be planted on downtown streets. Was it something to attract tourists, or an attempt to establish a "semitrpoical" setting that the Chamber of Commerce folks are constantly trying to foist in their literature?)

Days gone by . Nostalgia and memories.

The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is to promote business and make money. They don't really care about days-gone-by.
