Old pictures fascinate me. This one is from the 1920s but I’m not sure of the location. Isn’t it odd to see a street scene with only men in it? I can’t decide whether they are waiting for a streetcar or looking at an accident. There seems to be a policeman in the center, so I’m betting on an accident. Perhaps a collision, although there doesn’t seem to be any damage.

That’s true, there are only men in the picture. But maybe this is near, or inside, a workplace, so maybe only men work there.
That’s so weird.
My thought is that there is an announcement of some sort. Dedication of the trolley.
Looks like some of the photos of men lined up outside a telegraph office for baseball scores – although without the telegraph office. Or baseball. The cars look too early for the 1920s to me – more like 1910?
