Which Historic Charm? Pt. 7
March 16, 2011
Via sweetpea11215 on Flickr, here’s a great postcard shot of Grand Army Plaza from around 1905. (Judging by the copyright, not the handwriting.) In the right half of the picture, you can see a man pushing a handcart in the circle, perhaps someone going about his job. Today, anyone pushing a cart through GAP would most likely be certifiably crazy. And what would a picture of Park Slope be without someone pushing a stroller? The more things change…

Looks like the walkway closer to Flatbush/Eastern Parkway.
Note the angle of the arch in
