This photo of Orange and 7th makes me think of when I was a young boy. Down the block, on Orange and 6th, right across from the old 5th Precinct, was a tire/auto store called Morris's, as I remember. Our family lived on 6th street just north of Orange St., next to Triangle towing. This guy, Morris, used to have a television in the window of the store facing Orange St. Groups of people would stand there and watch live tv shows. Now, remember, this was late 1940s -early 50s, when many households didn't have tv and tv broadcasting was in its infancy. I remember going past that store so many times seeing that tv in the window and people standing there watching because my mother would take me to the store, Gatto's Market, right next to it, or across the street to American Stores. Morris also had portable gasoline pumps and would fuel the PS bus that stopped on Orange St, - the 22 Roseville. He must have had some kind of contract/agreement with Public Service.
Thinking of that now after all these years. Thanks for posting the photo.
