TODAY WE slip back some 45 years in Nevada City and give y'all a golden oldie. Now, you can easily identify what we're viewing, but the question is what is the street to which the main subject faces in the foreground? Clue: nothing in the photo remains today, all went bye-bye with a major construction project. Good luck, happy viewing and aloha until we meet again next time.

NOSTALGIA REIGNS; let's review the November 12, offering:
THE CLUE is the utility pole shown in today's photo to the right, of the SUV's hood which is parked facing south on the west side of S. Church street between Neal and W. Main. In the background is the Bank of America parking lot. Not only were the pictured homes taken out but also Serra Hall, a church social center on the NW corner of Neal and S. Church in last week's photo the pole is visible at the extreme left in the photo. The angle of the two photos is different with last week's shielding the now Bret Harte Retirement Inn (right) and the Grass Valley Elk's roof (three dormers) left of pole. I know, some of you are shaking your heads, but it's true! Some have told me that it's where Wells Fargo Bank is on Mill street and one, a block west on School; not so! Coincidence? Okay, here's verification: See page 34, top photo in Gold Cities, Grass Valley and Nevada City, by Jim Morley and Doris Foley, Howell-North ©1965. Oh, now you see! It's because Morley took his photo from an angle somewhat different from the one our TIMELINES! guy shot, but they are the same two houses, really compare facades! Our unimpeachable authorities are listed with documentation.

Reader's names for the November 5 offering are followed by November 12 names. Thank you all for your patience.
GUESSERS in order of receipt for the November 5, responding to the photo of the North Star Mining Museum: JIM DIERBERGER, E.H. Young, who correctly identified the woman and may be an eligible for a meal; J. Ketcham, D.W. Babson, Les Worthington via Carrie Hufford, Terry Noziska, THE LADY in the photo called to identify herself by telling our TIMELINES! guy, “That's me, but I wish to remain anonymous,” and she thereby claims a magnificent luncheon at a restaurant to be selected and most likely in the company of E.H. Young; Anita Daniels, who thought it was she and husband Don who knew it was not (this is fun!), a USPS postal card from Jennie Ingram identifying the woman as herself. Oh dear me, sorry Jennie. I guess I'll have to break the pictured woman's anonymity: Bunny Wyckoff; sorry Bunny!
NOVEMBER 12: A plethora: First, a letter from Keith Kohler, “My father, Theodore A. Kohler, Jr. (former Nevada County clerk/recorder) was born in the house in the center of the photos (120 South Church ) in 1913. The house with the ivy belonged to my grandfather, William Kohler ... “Betty Berggren tells us that “My Mom and Dad lived right across the street where the (city) parking lot is now,” and from Sandra Berggren Thompson, “My maternal grandparents lived across the street ... behind the Owl Cafe ... great memories from my childhood.”
Eleanor Macari identifies the house on the left as her daughter's, Gale and Glenna Veater's great grandfather R.E. Allen's houses. And our TIMELINES! guy thought he had a stumper photo; wrong!
Additional submitteres are: Stan Dundas, Lucille McCrea, Helen Martini, Jim Crosswhite, Eilene Boothby, Bobbie Pickering, Les Worthington, Dennis Babson remembers the late Bill Moule on a scaffold painting the exterior of the middle house; Cal Ogden, Melanie Wellner, Steve and Charisse Nunnink, Amos Seghezzi, Dolly and Ken Jaynes, Frank Bennallack, Ed Hayden and Brita Rozynski who gives us this reminiscence, “Mary ‘Tamale's' Silva was across the street near Bank Alley.”
