Photos Then and Now

April 28th, 2008 at 02:22pm Lil Swanson

Today we are pulling old photos from our archives and sending photographers out to shoot new ones. That’s for a photo gallery we’ll post online that will look at Then & Now of the city’s west side. I love to linger over photographs of years past and I know readers do, too.

We’ll start the project by talking about some of the changes on the city’s west side over the last three decades. This morning before work, I drove around the west side. I wanted to be sure the project launch stories capture the right tone. My quick reconnaissance told me they do, mostly because of Judy Emerson’s deft touch on the keyboard.
