New Yorks poo problem has apparently been a long issue

this was taken in the 1890s, the horses that were used to carry the people were estimated to drop 15-30lbs of poo a day, with an estimated 150k horses in the city, that’s a lot of crap!

That's why in the early 20th century, when cars started to become popular, they were hailed as the solution to pollution in the city.

I was reading people would stand at the street corners and for a few they’d clear a path for you to walk through

We have a pretty strong Amish community around Aylmer, Ontario, but the streets never get that bad looking! LOL.

I have a black & white photo of Craig standing beside the Spirit on the Bonneville Salt Flats. He autographed it for me at a car show in St. Louis way back when. That picture is tucked away somewhere here in the house, but I don't know where! I may go hunting for it!

Looks more like a 1932 to me.

Thanks Dave, I agree it's a '32 and stand corrected. I deleted the post.

Gee, that was not my intention at all. In another life, I had some '30' s cars, and came to be able to identify a lot of early models, and try to share this knowledge with others, realising that not all members are as interested in these early cars. I enjoy your posts, and I hope I did not offend you with the correction.

Well then, how about this picture?

No offence taken Dave. I should have verified that photo caption before posting it. It's sad that there's already so much misinformation about our cars on the web. I truly respect your knowledge and appreciate your sharing it here. You are part of the solution, not part of the problem!

Those poor kids were likely scarred (scared?) for life. But, Happy Easter!
