Old classics  Contributor's Pick!       
Everything in this photo is long gone. The R 16s overhead on the Jamaica Av elevated, delivered around 1950, are gone, as is the brown paint scheme and the structure they are riding on, which was closed here in 1977. Note the police call box on the pole at far right-along with the beat cop on the corner. Theres an upward pointing arrow bus stop sign, another feature of urban life now a long ago memory. And Woolworths.........
