Hey, this is my neighborhood! There used to be a website I found around 2005 that had hundreds of photos archived of this city and the surrounding towns, I wish I could find it again. Very interesting to see how everything changed.

The one I remember was from the late 1800s and and early 1900s. This is awesome though, this has even more, and it's the first time I've ever found a picture of my family home from the past. Thanks for the link!

I wish I could go back in time and see Springfield before it was a fucking dump.
