In each picture I always took the right side. Some stores stayed the same while lots changed into good things and some not so good things.
In 1875, the picture was the only picture with dirt roads. Everybody was wearing black or other dark colored clothes. Some stores there looked new and clean like the Books Store, Dining and lunch Room, Real Estate, and a wide building with no name. Up a block there was a beautiful park with flowers. In the background there were farms with very few houses
In the most recent picture from 1990, things had changed since 1875, like the wide building was named the Tenebo. There was still a park with flowers, but much smaller and had a fountain. Also taking part in the park was a covered walkway with flowers growing allover it. There were also colorful trees in the park. Another big change was where the Book Store and the Dining Room was, was a mysterious tall white building. There were lots of houses in the background with very few farms. There was no traffic or litter.
In that 115 years of change from 1875 to 1990 and I think there will be more change in the future. In 2005 there might be litter, graffiti, factories polluting the air, buildings being trashed, loud and noisy streets, and a very unpleasant place to live, but I don't think it will be like that because of the recent event on 9-11-02 because people I think have changed what they do with there actions in a good way so that cities will be a more pleasant place to live in the future.
Through the studying of the seven posters, things really changed on the far right side from 1875 to 1990.
