    This image was taken in August of 1961 by a photographer working for the Richmond “Times-Dispatch.” It contains a street-side market where “farmers and merchants in the market area of 17th and East Franklin streets sold produce and goods curbside, paying a fee of 50 cents a day for a spot to park.”

    This photo was also taken by a photographer working for the Richmond “Times-Dispatch. The caption with it reads:
    “In June 1961, cars – most of them belong to students – were parked in the lot at Douglass Freeman High School in Henrico County.”

    From above.... This is Pershing Square, downtown Los Angeles, probably around 1960 - 61

    Here's the view current-day, courtesy of Google Earth. Large old brick/beige building (Biltmore Hotel) is the same, and there's also the spire of the AT&T Microwave tower.

    I never knew that they were microwaving us since those devices were installed onto that tower. No wonder there's so much cancer going around. Wait until they set up 5G
