Vintage Parkville-Overlea: The More Things Change

Do you know where in the greater Parkville-Overlea area this photo was taken?

If you took this photograph today, a few things would be different: there'd probably be a newer car on the street, and there probably wouldn't be quite so large a crowd gathered outside the building on the right.

And if there were that large a crowd, odds are good that they'd be quite a bit older.

Everything else though—the street, the building on the left and even the one on the right—is still right where it was when this photo was taken in 1939.
