It’s time to round out my recent junking posts by sharing two amazing pictures I found last Saturday.

There is more to the story than these two poorly scanned photographs of a house and a man. The picture of the house had the caption “Uncle Sturless’ home on LaSalle Ave, Buffalo, N.Y.” pen written in the margins and a 426 house number clearly visible in the photograph on the porch. Piecing it together, it’s simple to determine the exact address of the house from picture! The second picture with the gentleman confirms the address and provides a second angle. But there is more, LaSalle Avenue in Buffalo, NY is currently on Google Streetview! I’m uncertain the exact house since they all look alike but it’s right there! How cool is that?!

I’m planning on sending the current resident copies of the photos and a short story where I found them. I hope they will enjoy how the pictures were found some 333 miles away from their home and share their story back. I’ll let you know if I hear anything.

Congratulations, well played and thank you sir. We are all so proud.
