Woodward Avenue, Detroit 1917 from Shorpy
This image may not look like much at first, but it gives you a glimpse of what Detroit used to be like. To get the full effect, you need to take a look at the full sized image: just click through.
Also, if you have never done so, you need to bookmark the Shorpy website. They have a great collection of vintage images, as well as new ones daily.

We made a quick trip out of town this past weekend to Rocheport & Boonville, MO. It was nice to get away, and enjoy the last bit of fall leaves. Rocheport is tiny, but holds tons of character. And Boonville’s downtown is pretty impressive really. Anyway, I thought I would share some photos of some vintage finds from a store in Rocheport.
Why I didn’t buy this little soap box, I will never know. I majorly regret it.
Great title, love the cover. There was an interesting version of Don Quixote next to it.
Love the old illustrations on these Hat boxes.
I don’t know what Plug Slice is, but that little Tin is awesome! I also regret not buying some vintage maps from Canada, Indiana, Minnesota, etc…
