Location anyone?

This one's a puzzler.  Someone's gotta know where it was.

The view looks like a relatively flat street scene with the loop beside
the road, and a moderate size hill in the background.  Muldowney loop was
on a slope beside the route 56 PRW.  The route 6 loop was at a
recognizeable street location (Cambronne St.) with 1930-ish houses around
it.  I'm not real familiar with the Etna loop, but I think that the Etna
loop area was more built-up than this photo location.  Woods Run is a
possibilitity.  

Any other comments?  In the meantime, I'll look through some old photos
from these lines.
