They do from that angle, but I can see an overhead wire and out in the middle of the road it may be more open.

I do see the wire. As you have mentioned before, sometimes they try to remove wires from photos.

No idea. No longer exists? Misspelled on card? Who knows......

There are/were many small towns in eastern Ohio that were very similar to many that are shown on the cards posted here on MTJ.
Many of them that I recall had not changed at least into the 1950s. They are so similar that I "recognize" places I have never been.
I also think this is part of what is called nostalgia.
If you have traveled in eastern Ohio, western and central Pennsylvania my guess is that you will understand this.

Maybe it's Le Raysville, Pennsylvania ?

I did a street view and found one brick building. This looks like the one in the picture.

Probably, hence my offering up this as a result of a misspelling. Google maps also pulls up Le Raysville.

Life sure seems to have been simpler then, though not quite so convenient as it can be today.

Possibly so, but then maybe some of today's conveniences are not all "needed".

Flush toilets (and tp), air conditioning, and cars are tops with me. Refrigeration is pretty cool, too. :mrgreen: Oh, and electricity, of course.
