    I love the Old-timey lady and newsie in the bottom left corner of the "Craig Street" pic.

    Funny I was just looking at the same thing this morning. Another one: check out the detail from set below, "Places D'Armes 1896," you can see some guy climbing up on the wires on the left.

    these old photos are great!

    However, I'm getting that old Rice-a-Roni commercial stuck in my head now.
