Wonderful photo. I’ve just got back from Egypt where horses join the rest of the traffic chaos. Your photo show me that perhaps it is not quite as long ago as I thought that we had horses on our streets.

Heard at the lunch counter at Woolworth’s: One grilled cheese sandwich to stay and a bucket of oats to go, please.
Great find that shot is, Beth!

Great picture. About 30 years ago when I started to travel to Greece there were always lots of donkeys. For some older folk it was the preferred method of transport. There are no donkeys now!

Much easier to parallel park with a horse than with a stick shift I think. 😉

Wonderful photo, though I imagine a horse was not a common site in Ann Arbor in 1952. I remember going to Woolworths!

I just returned from a trip to D.C. and I could have used this mode of transportation or even a parking spot. Thanks for taking us back a little. 🙂

I’ll bet the horse was beginning to feel a little lonely.
