Wide road in old Boston

The folks at the Boston City Archives wonder if you can place and date this scene. See it larger.

Day Square, East Boston 1940ish

Probably before they expanded Logan the first time.

Instead of copying the URL in Google Maps, from the menu select share or embed map, click short URL, and it pastes much better.

Starting March 30, 2018, we will be turning down support for goo.gl URL shortener. From April 13, 2018 only existing users will be able to create short links on the goo.gl console. You will be able to view your analytics data and download your short link information in csv format for up to one year, until March 30, 2019, when we will discontinue goo.gl. Previously created links will continue to redirect to their intended destination. Please see this blog post for more details.

I wonder why they'd get rid of that feature?

Something about a new type of link that sends you to a different smartphone app.

All streetcar service in East Boston ended on January 5, 1952. Most lines were replaced by trackless trolleys.

Thanks for playing, folks! If you guessed Day Square, you are correct. This photo was taken on April 26, 1948.

Adam where can we go to find the answers to the City Archives posts? Forgive me as I am old and tired.

History.

I should probably create a separate category for the City Archive stuff, but I'm a lazy cuss, I guess, so scroll down and you'll find the posts - then on Comments for each one to find the answer. Sorry for making it so difficult.
