Here is another photo of Brookline Boulevard, in 1933, near the intersection of Glenarm Avenue, near the cannon. The country was in the midst of the Great Depression and everyone was feeling the pain. For the first time in twenty years the population in Brookline was in decline. Life went on, however, and in a few years the country would feel the positive effects of Franklin Rooselvelt's "New Deal".

Note the Kroger grocery store where the Chuong's Dry Cleaners is today. It is strange how time can change many things, but peering at the storefronts and the building shapes, it's pretty much the same as today, 70-some years later.
