DING, DING, DING...
went the bell
120-130 Harvard Ave., looking north, 1900
The open car has most likely come from the Allston Depot on Wilton St.
We are looking north toward Brighton Ave. The block at the right still stands with Korean Garden, Steve's Kitchen, and Cheap Chic occupying the commercial storefront.
Cheap Chic is a former place of employment (if it can be called that) in a previous lifetime...
Wow you hit that one on the head!
The view today from Google: https://goo.gl/maps/SFNWD
In fact, my Uhub handle
is derived from my Cheap Chic days.
bohhh: one of the few utterances made by the Allston ninja. .

Along with "quang!" and general grunting.
Boh!?
...is also a great Italian exclamation usually meaning, "I have absolutely no idea." The typical Italian body english accompanying, "Boh" is the corners of the mouth drawn down, eyes wide open, and hands held palms out at shoulder level, sometimes accompanied by a shrug.
Amazing.
Those huge houses and bucolic atmosphere...almost as strange and sad as the photos they posted a few months back of the church that used to face what is now Twin Donuts. Crazy...
Boston 2024 started its Olympic infrastructure
improvements long before its opponents will give them credit for doing so. You NIMBY nattering nabobs of negativism!
The Answer!
Thanks for playing, folks! This is Harvard Ave at Brighton Ave, circa 1913.
And now
Blanchard's is there <3
