This caught my attention because it's local and about a block away from where I went to high school.
1913 Mercer is really the subject with everything else just background, but still some cool signage. It's a fugly parking garage now.
If we go back to post #124, I think this gas station I posted there would be around the corner to where the Syracuse Garage was. I also think those buildings above were already gone when this pic was taken, presumably in the late 50's. It's part of that parking garage now.

Funny the stuff we recognize.

my kids there in mid 2000's -- they had better cars.
