A Walk Along Indiana Avenue

 
 
 
 

On December 7th at 3:19 p.m., I loaded my camera with a single roll of film, parked the truck on Lafayette Boulevard just south of Sample Street, and set off down and around Indiana Avenue’s one-sided string of storefronts who, sixty-four years ago tomorrow, welcomed home the newly-out-of-work world-famous-makers of the best-selling 1950 Champion and the full-classic ‘28 President and the world-land-speed-record-setting ‘63 Avanti “No. 9.” And who today peer across that vast-and-vacant factory-field on to the downtown of a small city still going, where I ended with the sunset and a train. Here are eleven photographs from the walk.
