Original Title: Snow Storm
Location:121 Reade St, NY
Can you imagine just how miserable it must have been to drive back then?
It's 1920, snow on the ground, plows really weren't invented, and neither were excuses. Many cars, no real traffic direction, the cars have narrow wheels without traction, and the meager 1 chain you have on that wheel just isn't enough.
On top of that there are no windows on the cars, its cold, driving through a combination of slush and manure, trying to walk over cobblestone and not slipping and landing on a horse. It's a real tough go, and as if that wasn't bad enough, they put a huge pile of bricks right in the middle of the street.
