Mrs. Viola E. Williams. Mrs. Mae Baker. A line has been drawn in the concrete of Westchester.

The year was 1951.

SO many stories could be created from this picture! Why are they standing in the dirt on either side of the fence, when they could take 5 steps and meet in the middle on the sidewalk? Why the path in between the properties that runs into a brick wall – a sort of no man’s land, if you will? This is a great shot. Thanks for sharing, Jason!

It looks like the spite fences the old ladies on my street started building a few years back.
