[PRCo] Re: Ellsworth Avenue

[Herb Brannon]

Noteworthy, for me, is the last photo (_tracks002...). I used to live the
the beige color brick apartment building on the right hand side of the
photo. My place was on the third floor on the side visible in the photo and
to the rear. Not a bad place at all. That was 1980 to 1986. I was able to
view East Busway operations from my rear windows.
