ReplyDeleteVery cool, isn't it? We had a couple of old Ramblers back then! My mom and dad both drove them. :)
DeleteOkay - here's a bit of trivia about this picture - and any real Richmonder will get this right off the bat - what time of day was this picture taken?
ReplyDelete2 AM?
DeleteLate Fall, sun in the East, long shadows, commuters on the go, so just after sunrise...8am ish kinda thing?
ReplyDeleteAM commute time as two lanes of traffic coming through booths heading to North Side of the River, toward downtown
ReplyDeleteThe reverse happens in the evening commute. 2toll James would be open heading to the south side of the river.
