Description

Colorized photo from 1940
Original title: Outside of the tobacco warehouses
Photographer: Jack Delano
Location: Durham, NC

Try as I might, I couldn't quite place where this location was. According to sources, that building in the middle is the Hill building. And while I could find the building, I couldn't find the exact corner, per angle of that building. So I don't know where this is exactly beyond that. From my understanding, nothing is left of this scene.

Scenes like this can't really be replicated today, with the boxes being made of plastic or cardboard. Roads that are paved, and of course... road laws, those pesky laws that keep kids from doing something dangerous like this, would be really hard to do now. And who really needs helmets or pads? They just get in the way.

This store on the right really likes Dr. Pepper, ask me how I know. I kind of wished the photographer stepped into that pool hall too.
