Then And Now: A Glance Down Smith Street Towards Atlantic Avenue

A quick look back to the 1920's
and then,
right back to the present.

This is Smith Street at the intersection of Baltic Street, looking downtown towards Atlantic Avenue. Quite a difference, no?

But if you look closely, you can see that some of the buildings remain unchanged.
In the 1920's shot, you can see Michael's, a huge furniture store that was still open when I moved into the neighborhood 23 years ago. The building now houses a Rite-Aid. Unfortunately, some of the old buildings on the right hand side of the street are gone, replaced by the one-story Met Food supermarket. One of them still remains. I believe it is home to Robin Des Bois.
