Alas, its the plastic coke bottle sign that spoils the mood. Without it, this would have been perfectly 30's.

Very nice shot which would give the viewer a sense of 1935 - except for the flavor blast sign and pay phone.

5 - I like this and think you met the Challenge in the respect that a shot of this put into a time capsule for said year would depict the era quite well for future generations. Criticism; for true 'authenticity', I will nitpick the phone, and perhaps the shape of the Coke bottle, but yes that is nitpicking, but 'striving for perfection' is the aim, for me at least. I like the shadow at the fore, and would like to see you have incorporated that more. I think the b/w works well here but a different angle, more 'dramatic', may have made this a better photograph in my opinion.

Nice image; just the phone booths clash with the year.

The only thing that gives it away is the price of the phone call. Probably should have cropped it out.

Great shot of a "former time." Good job. I love the angle and the sepia shot.

one of the few i've seen that actually fits the challenge...too bad the phone booth couldn't be taken out...still a great shot

This is a great building but the Coke sign and the Phone 'booth' are a bit toonew for 1935.

Classic photo, just some of the adds give it away as well as the pay phone.

the coca cola bottle and "flavor blast" poster give this away immediately as not '35. good idea though.
