I got the following two black and white photographs on Ebay this week.
I paid $3.00 and that included postage - a pretty good deal.
Image #1 - Streetcar on the 100 Block of E. Broad Street -most likely Sept. 1940 [which is the date written on the back of image #2
which appear to be taken at the same time].

I used a 1940 Richmond directory to identify the businesses and the block.
Here's the view of that block I copied today from Google Maps.
Image #2 - Here's an image of a Richmond streetcar on the the 200 block of E. Broad.
One the back of the photograph someone wrote the date Sept. 1, 1940.
