Bethesda, from above

Monday, November 30th, 2009

The recent addition of the Bethesda got me thinking that having some aerial views would be nice. Well, luckily there are some online resources for this. Here’s a link to Microsoft Terraserver showing an aerial photo ca. 1988. I know that much of the RR was wiped out by then, but it’s a start to gain some perspective on the city since online resources are so scarse.

A small Georgetown treasure

Monday, November 30th, 2009

While browsing for GB related stuff online (I do this occasionally; you never know what you’ll find!) I stumbled upon a few well-tagged photos on Flickr showing a few neat shots down in Georgetown at the North end of the yards. If I had to guess I’d say these are from the 1970s. Photos of Georgetown are so rare these really made my day! Enjoy.

The Don Wetmore collection

New photos! Recently a member of the B&O Yahoo! Group posted a nice little collection of photos he shot in the late 1970s. He so graciously allowed me to repost them to my Georgetown Branch gallery so all can enjoy! Hope you like them:
