Art & Inspiration Stump the HAMB

ok,..here's a cool photo I found, can anyone tell what town this is?

 

Greensboro Alabama

 

Hi. Google is your friend. McCollum Grocery & Loftis Café was Greensboro Alabama. mid 1930's.

yes I cheated too

 

...you guys are fast,...I'm surprised they had a cash store back then...looks like newest cars are 35-36,...I'll take that Chevy p.u. up front on the right.

 

...how bout this one?

 

Splain' something to me.... how do you go about searching an image in Google?

 

didn't search he image, searched the business in the image

 

Not quiet what your thinking,the Cash Store at that time period was a clothing store. HRP

 

No idea, i guess you could ask google . I will when i have more time on my hands.

 

I have been through there but it didn't look like that. I didn't see any old cars...

 

You right click on the image and left click on "search Google for image"

 

It is a view of the parking lot from Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Greensboro, AL.

 

Don,I just googled the business name- C.A. Johnson & Son and a couple came up,one is in the UK and by look of the street scene it's here in the States. HRP

 

What? There are more cars there than in the whole state of Alabama in the 30s, that can't be right.

 

Google maps is fun. It wasn't taken from the Catholic church, btw, it's on Main Street.

 

I was referring to the photo in post #6. And I was also making a wild-assed guess, one that is most certainly not correct.

 

Both the gas pumps are gone. HRP

 

You sure were, sorry I misread the quote

 

@56don...Dick is right...that works if the image has not been renamed...and this feature is on my cell phone but not the desktop and Perhaps it's the browser I use at home Mozzilla Firefox and not Google Chrome. My cell is Chrome...Hope this helps and it's real handy sometimes.

Rusty's second image leads to one foreign link and a facebook page and I'm not on that to so I would have to go by name in image and its to grainy to make out.

 

This image you have to identify by something in the image so hey ya older fellows and lasses what is the business near back ending in FOX or TAX the first word is tough to decipher?

DAZA FAX?

@rusty1 this is a toughy

Even the truck in front of that business may yield the clue.​

 

Isn't that where Forrest Gump lived?

 

Yes, I found out that this method works with Google Chrome but it doesn't work with Firefox.

 

I guess I've been found out, I run Google Chrome for a browser.

 

That is good to know. Thats why I keep the phone handy...

 

Firefox lacks that feature. HRP

 

HRP,..thanks, I did see that the store was a clothing store rite after I posted, it says "ready to wear" at the bottom....ain't havin any luck with the parkin lot photo tho.

 

Yes. I found the U.K. link.

Sent from my SM-G930T using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

He was from Greenbow, AL. Close in name.

 

The parking lot looks like a 30's 40's LAPD impound lot when they took your car if they found weed in it. Just joking
