Same place during the WWII and 70 years later... Isn't it amazing?

Those two images are neat to see together. Thanks Emma

There's quite a few of these on the net, some even an overlay in the same frame. I find them fascinating, especially when the same, or some of the same buildings are still standing. It gets me wondering if the people who live/work there now, knew the ones who lived/worked there then.

Looking at it again, the door on the garage for the hotel tells me it used to be the stable for the hotel.

It makes you think about the forces at work... That building had a nice finish when the tanks were in the streets but more recently...

Painted over all the detailing now it's shabby chic. Probably the hotel doesn't do much business and the bar carries the load.

Wow a pic from Emma. I'll have to watch for hers. I wonder if she does motorcycles too.
