Old photo of where I grew up

This was my old stomping grounds. I found this May 1922 photo of downtown Benson Nebraska.

Two things caught my attention. First, on the right are several Model T's. Parked next to the Roadster pickup is a touring car with the old-style billed fenders. It's probably the oldest car in the photo.

The other thing that stands out is the brand new Center door on the left. It appears that Super Mario may be the original owner.

And here we are today. I still live on that road on the right but 11 miles away.

I don't know if "Super Mario" was the owner or not, but the sign on the back of the Center Door says it's "In Transit"....sooo, maybe it's being delivered to somebody on that street?
Fun never quits!
