 Flashback Friday time!

Were you able to guess the place and year of today’s Flashback Friday photo?

Pictured is a Delmar streetcar passing the Delmar (Wabash) Station in the summer of 1957.

How about a bit of local trivia for 1957?

• That was the year the Billy Wilder film, “The Spirit of St. Louis,” starring James Stewart was released.
• The St. Louis Hawks reached the NBA Finals that year but couldn’t quite get it done against the Boston Celtics (yes, Boston…ugh), losing four games to three.

Happy Friday!
