RSS FeedWayback: Sporty On G Street NW
We haven’t put up a Wayback story in a while but our favorite old photo site, Shorpy, never disappoints and this gem from 1920 taken in the 1200 block of G Street, NW shows off some interesting elements of the time. All the shops are retail with a frame shop, a tailor (Geraci) and a fruit & nut shop featuring “health candies” and baskets of fruits. The car is an Allen and the dog’s face in the back seat is priceless – maybe they’re going touring? To view the high definition photo original where you can see the dog’s face, view the tire markings and read comments outlining the history of the tailor born in 1862, click here.

I love those big awnings like the one in the far right of that photo.
