I cheated though and did not walk all the way down to College St to take the shot to the east. My stick and I had walked for three hours by then, and I wanted to find a 389 bus quick.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-79065410498051392312012-02-05T22:20:25.774+11:002012-02-05T22:20:25.774+11:00It sure looks nicer than it did in the 60's.It sure looks nicer than it did in the 60's.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-51996967193397828352012-02-05T21:57:04.009+11:002012-02-05T21:57:04.009+11:00It hardly seems the same street so much has change...It hardly seems the same street so much has changed.Gerald (SK14)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18308693910074268386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-66238622408354371352012-02-05T20:27:45.369+11:002012-02-05T20:27:45.369+11:00I typed a comment earlier this morning then all yo...I typed a comment earlier this morning then all your blogs disappeared into google gobble land. I am glad to see they are back ... I nearly had a fit when that happened to me recently.<br /><br />Anyway, I think I said that your images confuse me because the slope of the street looks identical but you captions say one is looking east and the other west.Joan Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16358008925558240778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-69541219442111846932012-02-05T16:31:07.556+11:002012-02-05T16:31:07.556+11:00Grace: my daughter and g/daughter.

I want to find out whether it was widened in 1909-1911 as was Oxford St. I do not know the expression 'smart pole' but gather it is this style and has many uses. I would prefer the graceful street lamp as in the Brisbane street pole of yesterday.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-24070506477647510142012-02-05T16:19:00.290+11:002012-02-05T16:19:00.290+11:00'Then and now' shots are fascinating.

Oh poor old William St. I featured a Slessor poem yesterday and 'William St' is also a favourite. <br />I think this street has always been made into something it isn't, I think its been in the doldrums since the first cow wandered east and made a track. It has always been down at heel no matter how much they try and turn it into a European Boulevard.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03671691808322770184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1917748826116414599.post-73302356467890617372012-02-05T08:22:36.741+11:002012-02-05T08:22:36.741+11:00I love the add of the "then" photo.
