If you’re like most “06880” readers, you enjoyed this morning’s photographic trip down memory lane.
You admired the photos. They jogged memories — or, if you’re a newcomer (or just young), you tried to imagine the Westport of yore.
If you were Mark Potts though, you headed straight to Google Street View.
Mark — a 1974 Staples grad who co-founded WashingtonPost.com, served as editor of Philly.com, and is a consultant with clients like the Los Angeles Times, Variety and Silicon Valley startups — now lives in Lawrence, Kansas.
But his heart is still here. And one of his many hobbies is taking creating “then and now” images with “06880” photos. (Click here for last October’s shots.)
Today’s batch was tough, he says. A few unusual photo angles could not be duplicated (the Merritt Parkway shot, for example, was taken from the side of the road). And Mark couldn’t figure out where the Post Road import car shop was.
But the rest worked out fairly well. Enjoy his trip back in time — and back to the present.
Very cool!
