HI!
	I really like the photo on pg.160 of  *PCC From Coast to Coast*  as it
makes one feel as though he is the photographer  --  standing right in
the scene!

	Note the typical, but not exclusive, PRCo standard for laying the
bricks (can I say  *bricks*  for short instead of  *Belgian--Block*??) 
--  3-bricks deep and parallel to the outside rail on either side of the
two tracks, with bricks perpendicular to the rails between the rails and
also between the 2-tracks.

	Note the corrugated and seemingly tapered linepole with a single
bracket for a feeder wire.  All other utilities must have been below
ground!

	Interesting to note the businesses::

	Frank and Seder - had totally forgotten this one.
	Household Finance
	Donahoes
	HFC Finance
	The Warner Theater
	McCrory's 5 & 10
	What was  *Peoples First*??  --  Jewelry??
