One thought: could it be that back then there was not much air conditioning so people wanted to be outside to catch every breeze they could?

So residents were probably more tightly concentrated near downtown.<BR/><BR/>Either way, nice pics.blackinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537923754597016040noreply@blogger.com
