This photo was taken at nearly the same east-west position as the one from the previous post, but here we are positioned further to the south. The Ainsworth Triangle is nearly at the top of the photo, while the double horizontal line of Route 30 appears about a third of the way from the bottom.
The exposure is higher, which makes some features stand out more clearly, such as the building I spoke of earlier — the suspected railroad station — that sits right beside the Grand Trunk Railroad on the north side of the Ainsworth Triangle.
There is absolutely nothing at the junction of Grand Boulevard and Route 30.
On the southeast corner of Grand Boulevard and 73rd Street stands a house that has since been knocked down. Here it looks like a significant farming operation. By the time I moved into the area, it was just a house; out back was a shed where a horse stayed, and further out a rusting farm machine. I was fond of the old farmhouse and the weathered wood of the shed, and of course I liked the horse. Then I read in local newspaper a letter from a reader complaining about the existence of that very shed and horse, and the rusting farm machine. I was simply stunned that anyone could find it offensive.
