Hello Tom
Here BELOW is the way the scene looked where I broke the awning and we caught the trolley -- I remember that the barber shop was at the end of the row because the wind was blowing south along its east facing side wall and my Uncle and I stood under the awning near the right edge of the right hand window to keep out of the wind flow. And that awning was flapping. I'm glad that trolley came along when it did - as my uncle (already in his 60's) would have caught hell - or worse - from the barber - heh . I was just an innocent kid back then, ha ha ... We ran down hill and caught the trolley about just where my yellow description text line is written on the image
Yes Tom, Yonkers and Mt Vernon are a sad shadow these days of the once beautiful and great places they were in the 1900's thru early 1960's. Sad to hear these structures in the photo were demolished...oh well...time marches on and we get older......... Regards - Joe F
