I came to your blog while going down a rabbit hole after finding the Krull/Abonmarche building and realizing it’s our old car shop. We are launching a plan for proposed new service into Hobart and the historical parallels are amazing. I’d like to know if it’s ok to cite your blog when we begin outreach later this month.

But now that I think about it, I remember walking down 2nd Street to a friends house on Washington Street, and seeing those diagonal tracks at the Pennsylvania Street intersection. That intersection has been re-paved since then so you can see them now, but it's a cool afterthought.

Check the little square in the photo at that location!

I really enjoyed searching for the landmarks I was familiar with. I remember the "soccer field under water" as a clay pit dug for the brick works. It was used as the city dump after that--I remember it overflowing. Can you imagine that so close to downtown? Looks great these days . . .Janicenoreply@blogger.com
