As always seems to be the case with this list, the "attached four photos" were NOT attached.  

If you will resend the email with attachments or embedded photos directly to:

dwightlong at verizon.net

I will try to answer your questions.

  Subject: [PRCo] Photo Trivia


  Two things are possible with each of the attached four photos. Either I need
  information concerning the photo or there is something of interest (trivial
  interest, which we know is interesting) in these photos. I will give my
  questions about each photo and maybe someone can give an answer.
  Photo 1--Is this Market Square or Penn Station? I'm guessing Market Square.
  Anyone know for sure? There is another interesting/trivial thing in the
  photo.

  Photo 2--A fire at the Granada Theater in the Hill District in the 1930s.
  Two things are "different" in the photo. Where is the fire hose going after
  it comes out of the fire engine? What, if anything, just struck the window
  of the automobile in the foreground?

  Photo 3--This is the former configuration of the intersection at the
  city-end of the Smithfield Street Bridge. What thing(s) in the photo will we
  never see in reality any longer?

  Photo 4--The trolley is turning from Penn onto Sixth. The operator is
  looking straight ahead. What is about to happen?

  Let me know what you find.
  The last photo is just the colorized version of a famous, well viewed photo
  of the first PCCs for PRCo. We may or may not have seen this photo on The
  List before.
