Kodachrome-oh-ome
They give us those nice bright colors
Give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

-Paul Simon, 1973

From tumblr.com.....the Market Basket was at 6298 W. 3rd St., it's now a Ross Dress for Less....I believe the photo was taken in the parking lot of Farmer's Market....





This one looks vaguely familiar, could be a re-post.....



From blogspot.com, coming down the hill and headed south at Western and Franklin....the ram's head hood ornament indicates we are in a Dodge vehicle.

The liquor store and Moby's Coffee Shop survive, although it appears Moby's has taken a portion of the liquor store, and their former space was converted to a 7-Eleven....
