<p>[QUOTE="sullivan201, post: 199925, member: 3709"]Any help from photo sleuths would be appreciated. This photo was saved in my hard drive and I'm hoping to identify the location, with the few clues available. It appears to be from the US midwest or northeast based on the housing style. Detroit, perhaps? The Tydol station will be little help, since there were likely hundreds of them in the 20's & 30's. And the street sign is too small to read. What I really need help with is identifying what is on the sign at the right (see 2nd close up pic). I'm hitting a dead end with the letters. It appears to be a lowercase u, followed by a lowercase n, then I'm stumped from there. I thought the third & fourth could have been D's, but ruled that out since they didn't match the other lowercase letters. I though perhaps it said "Dodge", but the second letter is clearly not an O. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be appreciated.</p><p><img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/272/31891471341_9df867eee4_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/363/32008328565_cacdbc8e3f_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
