Colorized photo from 1913
Original Title: Fresh Air Outing
Location: New York
I liked the variety of people and the overall Americana feel this has. All these people are poor, and a special club paid for a ride into Coney Island for fresh air. I have no idea the exact location of this place, other than the building says Yankee Cheese Box on it. And when I looked that up, it came up as a part of a ship. A Yankee Cheese building is a place where farmers drop off their milk and they turn it into butter and stuff.
The location is the slums and this is the start of the track, as I don't see any more of it on the left. There was a lot of trash on the ground, mostly apple cores and a lot of banana peels.
I think the streetcar is the right color, basing it on a postcard I found. I painted it with bright colors, brass, and dirt, a lot of dirt.
