Island Grove circa 1940
Non Geo, The Interwebs, United States on December 24, 2008 at 2:57 amI was linked to this set of images of the 1930s and 40s uploaded by the Library of Congress and the first dozen or so photos are of Brockton and surrounding areas.
Then I came to this photo marked as Skating, vicinity of Brockton, Mass.
And I knew it was of Island Grove almost immediately so I went ahead and took a picture from a similar location.
And to top it off I downloaded GIMP, which is like the poor man's photoshop and put my picture in place of the old one.
I thought it was pretty neat, but I'm easily amused. I got the idea because on a different photo a woman posts a current day image in the comments and the Library of Congress updated the image's information based on her photograph.
Library of Congress rules.
