We've slipped a bit since our last "weekly" photo, but better late than never they say! Our last photo was of a young Davy Crockett wannabe, sitting perched as lookout on Munjoy Hill, surveying Portland's Bayside neighborhood below.Here is another photo, courtesy of Abraham Schechter, who runs the Portland Public Library's Portland Room. This time our photo is another downtown photo, taken in 1942. Just the sort of summer sight you'd see today if only there were still ice wagons about, instead of popsicle-dealing ice cream trucks. Click on the photo for a larger version to inspect details. I'm not sure how much of the street is the same, today, as it was then.
