Interesting middle photo, on the cover of the Arcadia Publication’s The Motor Parkway by Howard and Al Velocci show’s a Sept. 1908 view from the Camen Ave. ‘bridge’ East Meadow NY, (from the other side of photo) with a 1908 Buick Model 10 below on the road, that’s in a another article of this newsletter.
