	Had to do a double-take and recheck the photo.  If we are looking east,
that means the TC is heading West - toward the Point - and it did not
run that way.  The TC would have to run east on Liberty.
	And the Parking Ramp for Greyhound would be high in the immediate
background, and it is absent.
	The White Tower would be in the corner of the intersection near where
the 44-line would turn from 11th to Liberty.
	AND.......  part of the Greyhound ramp might be visible just above the
heads of the people standing between the auto and the front of the TC. 
Can you see the railing there?
	Still believe that this is on Grant just beyond Liberty.
