Taking a shot in the dark. 1930 or 1931, and the construction workers are on break from working on the ESB. Although the hats could be from much later, and I'm not so sure the construction crews for t...

Y'know I didn't understand what all of the fuss was about until recently. I lived in another Major American City, and I biked everywhere for about five years. Most of the other bikers I encountered st...
