A diptych of the same location on the East Bank of Washington Avenue in Minneapolis facing downtown Minneapolis. The older image on the left shows a trolley car in the foreground with people boarding and on the horizon one can see the Foshay Tower. The newer image on the right shows a light rail train amid a tangle of power cables and on the horizon the Foshay Tower is lost amidst a clutter of skyscrapers. The left image has a caption that reads "How it started..."and the right image has a caption that reads "How it's going"
Missing is the middle image showing University students being run down by two-lane bidirectional auto traffic for fifty years.
