    Is there a corner of N and Union Street in DC?
  • iris.schimandle said:
    The corner in question is now the West end of N St. SW , at roughly 38.874676,-77.018784 (found using Google Maps). What used to be Union St. ran perpendicular to that point between M and O Streets. From the satellite images, it doesn't look like any of the buildings remain. Anyone know what that new development is?
  • iris.schimandle said:
    Here's the present day satellite photo.

    The area is currently occupied by condos and apartment buildings, none of which are architecturally noteworthy or distinguished. Arena Stage is also located in the general vicinty. Southwest Washington was once alive with people and streetlife. The urban "renewal" of the 1950s and 60s turned the area into a clean but sterile urban wasteland.

    I like the stances they each have. It has a lot to say.

    "At N and Union Streets S.W., in Washington, D.C." This one could actually be geotagged!
  • visnyk said:
    Interesting engagement. See the largest size; the boys appear to have been discussing their next football play or deciding whether to keep playing or not. Was it autumn? Long shadows...any ideas on time of day?
  • rrsafety said:
    "At N and Union Streets S.W., in Washington, D.C" Can't find it on "birdseye" at MSN live maps... Anyone have a better address to try?
  • Scott S said:
    @Dan4th & rrsafety: [it appears Union St is long gone, likely eaten up by Ft McNair or some development project...] It looks like iris.schimandle knows where this is.

    This is the first photo I've seen in the entire set where both black and white people are present.
  • Dan4th Nicholas said:
    @donovanbeeson: I was just thinking the same thing
  • perfgeek said:
    I cannot find a Union Street in DC - perhaps it got "redeveloped." What I did find though was someone selling this very image on eBay under the title "1941 Union St. WASHINGTON DC Photo"

    This one has both black and white folks in it (white girl with her dog off to the right watching the black boys play football). www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2179178872/
