It's Theme Day for City Daily Photo bloggers, and this month the theme is my favorite part of town. I very much have a favorite neighborhood, the Old North End. For me this also has to include the micro neighborhoods around it: Patty Jewett, Bonnie Park, Roswell. I just love this part of the city and always have. My studio was located in the Old North End for a decade; it's only in the last three or four years that I've had to relocate. I miss the daily commute into this neighborhood of wide avenues, gracious Victorian mansions and Craftsman homes, big old trees, and nice parks. Still, it's only a couple of miles from our house, so of course I take any excuse to drive through the Old North End and I typically do my grocery shopping there.
The above photo was taken on North Cascade Avenue in 1927 by an unknown photographer, and the one below was taken by me almost exactly a year ago, on October 30, 2022, on Alamo. I did blog the same shot on November 14, 2022 (here). If you saw this neighborhood in person, you'd love it too.
