IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS THE CORNER WHERE APPLE DRUGS IS TODAY (KINGSTON AND CROWN ) IF. YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU CAN SEE THE RAILS THAT THE ELECTRONIC TROLLY RAN ON AND THE OVERHEAD WIRES THAT SUPPLIED THE POWER TO THE TROLLEYS. KINGSTON AVEENUE ( AS ALMOST EVERY OTHER AVENUE ) WAS A TWO WAY STREET. THIS PICTURE HAD TO BE TAKEN IN THE LATE 30’S OR EARLY 40’S.
