Colorized photo from 1941 Oct
Original Title: Street in Amsterdam NY
Location: Railroad St & East Main St
The tale of a city, lost to history, partially missing, but not forgotten. This is the lost city of Amsterdam, a small town in New York. Its a town that is filled with old architecture, but in the center lies a large kind of ugly, mall. The mall removed a chunk of this town. People grew up here and walked these many blocks, but if you visit it today, all you would see is that mall, which is mostly empty.
Urban renewal destroyed much of this town. There is only a handful of these old buildings left.

Mike, it is fabulous how you bring old and often dull B&W photos to a new and sparkling life. Excellent ! :-)
