Fuel Service in Lyndhurst, NJ

This photo was taken in 1950 in the main street of Lyndhurst, NJ, a township of some 20,000 inhabitants with history dating back to the 1850’s. If you take a closer look at the fuel service car, you will notice that the company’s name contains an Italian surname. That is most likely related to the fact that 33.8% of Lyndhurst’s residents are of Italian origin, which is 19th-highest percentage in this respect across all municipalities in the United States*

Tram in Sandymount, Dublin, Ireland

This picture was posted by Jimmy, our user from Dublin, Ireland.

Sandymount is nowadays an affluent area, part of the famous Dublin 4 postal district.

It is the birthplace of the worldwide famous Nobel prize winner William Butler Yeats. During his lifetime, you could get to Sandymount two ways: by tram, as you can see, or by train. Currently the modern Dublin tram, the Luas, doesn’t go to Sandymount, unlike the train, which has been transporting passengers there since 1835.
