Fascinating Photos from the Not-Too Distant Past

The Blagden Alley and Naylor Court blog has posted a series of 1980's-era photographs of the area that offer a fascinating glimpse into what our neighborhood looked like in the not-too-distant past (check out the 1000 block of O Street, buildings in the 1200 block of 10th Street, tree boxes in the 1200 block of 10th, and what became the First Cup Cafe building (with the new convention center site in the background)). The posts also feature contrasting recent photographs taken from similar vantages that show how far our great neighborhood has come.
