Look at my town in 1870! This was November 22, 1870, to be precise. I found this photo on another blog loving Waukegan. Look at the skinny horse in the foreground and plank sidewalks flanking a dirt road - this is Genesee just south of Washington. There is history here, but I wonder if there's anything of it left at all.
love the picture, reminds me of the old west.
ReplyDeleteIt does look like the old west! It's the old mid-west
