Syracuse, NY Corner of W. Fayette and S. Salina Streets. My post #267 has a different view of this corner.

I remember the streets getting really bad one year in the 70's and the covered over trolley tracks were visible in the pot holes.

Another Syracuse pic, this time on South Clinton St. I believe the buildings in the background are long gone.

The car is a 1913 Hupmobile Model 32, which is interesting in that the Model 32 was one of the first all steel bodied cars.
