You wouldn't know it by looking, but this is downtown Washington DC, if a time traveler went forward a hundred years, he would not know where he was. And yeah, I said "he", because he would not even ask where he was or ask for directions.
Today its all skyscrapers, tall stout buildings, and they all look the same. But in this era, the buildings are unique and they all have character. The streets are full dirt, well, that might be the same in spots.
It was a much simpler time, compared to now. Time to just sit around and chat. Or wait for the next delivery in the Gas fixture and lighting store. You can almost imagine walking down this street yourself.
