| Strubennville and steel, 1955 |
Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back, and a recently scanned, steel town Steubenville shot of slight shadow is chosen. The car at the upper left, a 1955 Packard Clipper suggests this is the year. This is probably downtown and it is a stacked mechanical parking lot/car park (referred to as pigeon hole parking) and taken from a roof of a nearby building. It appears that the elevator takes the vehicles to the level and slot the car is/was parked. In the distance looks to be one of the steel mills that once dotted the banks of the Ohio River. The grit of the industrial contrasts with the nice cars parked by the downtown shoppers. A shadow in time...

The shadows are probably as heavy as those old vehicles!
Fortitude of Shadows
Wow,Ralph. I've never seen anything like this. Thanks for sharing!
Funny how they all look to have faces and how I expect them to start moving and talking like cartoon cars.
Most certainly a shadow in time! What a wonderful image. I know all those steel mills are gone now, aren't they? I still can't imagine getting those cars up there.
An elevator for cars is quite an incredible thought! Interesting how one level seems to be vacant and cars are above and below that level! Fascinating photo!
Thanks for a great rip down memory lane.
Cute - they are smiling! :)
Happy Sunday!
