Spring Common in the late 20's and early 1950's.
Sorry to be picky, but I think the second pic is from the early 50's. I think I remember reading a Vindy article stating that this bridge opened in 1950.
Sometimes I wish I could visit the late 40's and early 50's. (mid-late 20's would be interesting, too) We still took care of our cities then, and we hadn't started tearing down almost every other building to make room for parking.
You're right Westsider ... After reviewing the original, the date on it was 5/26/54.
I didn't blow it up till after I cropped it and lost the date.
Thanks Westsider for the observation.
