Tom Beckett General Enjoying this album. Hard to tell exactly, a lot has changed on the Island since this photo was taken, so much so that many places are now unrecognizable compared to photos from this date, but if I had to guess, I'd say it was on the Main Line near Hicksville. 6/7/2014 2:01:15 AM
