The houses remind me of the ones described in Zora Neale Hurston's book "Their Eyes Were Watching God"

Can you really say "negro"?
Ceridwen said:
I think you should be able to say "negro," although I haven't actually heard it used in years. There might be some people offended by it (you can always find somebody who is offended by something) but it doesn't have the deadly taboo status of that other "n word."

The car in the foreground is a '29 Plymouth (first year). The other one is a '30/'31 Ford.

Junked cars 1940s style, a decade earlier it would be a junked 1918 Model T ford, before then a junked wagon cart. The fact the car is only 12 years and rusted up is a sign the quality of those cars wasn't that good.
