Being a holiday weekend, I did not expect too many guesses and I gave a fairly simple photo. I was not disappointed since nobody gave more than a half-hearted attempt.
This location, of course is the intersection of Kentucky Ave and Central in the Woodland subdivision. The store at left was then known as the J.E. Botkin Meats and Grocery, though when I was growing up I knew it as Everett Jennings Real Estate office. It has since been re-clad in brick and essentially re-built from the outside in.
The subdivision was originally platted in 1884 and at one time hosted the streetcar line as part of the loop with Woodland Ave one block over. The older photo, taken in 1935, clearly shows that the line has been removed, probably due to the Woodland Auditorium being superseded by better venues.
As you can see very little has changed in terms of buildings and traffic.
Today's offering is not so easy.
