Would that be part of I195 with the railway down the middle?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering that too...hard to tell.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell where this is supposed to be. I don't know enough about how the rest of the area might have looked prior to I-195 being built; Historic Aerials suggests it might be between Cary Street Rd and Patterson Ave. There's too many trees for it to be anywhere else.
