Woodward Avenue, 1915

Good morning!

To use a hackneyed phrase: Long-time lurker, first-time poster, here!

Thanks for posting that wonderful photo. I spent about a half hour studying it; I found it to be mesmerizing.

I was hard pressed to find anyone not wearing a hat. People appeared to be dressed in their "Sunday Best." Also took note of the servicemen walking about! A different era, that's for sure.

One question, though......A couple of clothiers' signs advertised $10/$15 clothes.
Would that not have been expensive back in 1917?

In the lower left corner there appears to be some incredibly tight parallel parking going on!!
