Delaware, Ohio, 1956

Even without hitting up Google Street View, I can attest that this circa 1956 view of South Sandusky Street looking north in Delaware, Ohio, found on PhotOhio.org, hasn’t changed too much over the last 50-something years: To the right of the photo lays the academic side of Ohio Wesleyan University’s campus, where I racked up quite the collection of student loans. Business names have changed, of course, and the building housing the De Soto dealership – according to DeSoto.org, it was Miller and Tong De Soto at 21-23 South Sandusky – still stands, though the buildings to either side have since been torn down. What do you see here? And do you think the woman crossing the street made it?
