Strange sense of deja vu, seeing this picture. Like someplace from a dream. I wonder if any of these people are still dead.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called billboards, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

i agree with geekem, the view is facing east, looks like those houses are still there in fact, compare the roofs.

I look at this photo and it reminds me of OUR TOWN where the actors sit there portraying the dead-- here is seems like the deceased are sitting there watching life go by. "Hey Bert, isn't that Ralph Jones driving this way? I always thought he drove Plymouths."
