Thank you for filling in a piece of the puzzle and happy birthday! Strange as it may seem, the lattice of wiring in the older images makes the intersection far more cosmetically appealing than what is currently pictured. Guessing if it was still in existence w/o the transit, it would be a magnet for pigeons or laced shoes. Loafers need not apply.
