Tim Russell sent this cool looking photo postcard and a photo of that same street same location as it looks today.
This is what I like to call The Decatur Time Machine.
Thanks Tim for both photos.



The photo was taken at 340 Adams Street, looking north.

    Very cool to see our street. Kind of funny when you think about it: the houses kinda look mostly the same and with no trees...sounds like the neighborhoods OTP that we tend to have a little disdain for! :-)

    There is an online photo archive called "Vanishing Georgia" - the link below is all of the material for Dekalb County. There are some cool ones involving the Scottish Rite hospital, downtown Decatur, etc.
