I was confused by the buildings on the right, or east side of state st in this picture… was thinking: weren’t the train tracks there then? But found this much older sanborn map showing much more density than we know today

Waaay better time I think. One can always find pros & cons with then vs now. Just seems like it was more tranquil bck then. I think it would be really cool if they brought the trolleys back. But I’m sure there’s a bucket full of cons that go with bringing trolleys bck.
