    The New York City garbage strike was put down by a massive hiring of strikebreakers, but outbursts of resistance continued until the end of November, as documented by stories in The New York Times. Cleanup efforts dragged on into December. "Strikers Plead to be Taken Back" New York Times story, November 21, 1911: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9A02E3DC1231E2...

    The highest-resolution version of the photo available on the LOC website shows that this photo was taken on East 57th Street in Manhattan. It's not exactly clear what cross-street it is, though: it could be 2nd Avenue, because the block on 2nd Ave. between 57th and 58th currently has a reasonably well-preserved set of townhouses similar to the ones in the photo (though the corner now has a McDonald's).

    Maybe it is inverted... sometimes that happens which would explain why the steering wheel is on the wrong side... just a thought.. Wishing you a blessed and beautiful Easter!!!
