Allen St., McNeilly Const., 1980

Here’s a glamour shot for you. You’ve seen the J. Carter stamp before. The McNeilly stamp hasn’t appeared here before, though others just like it from this vicinity have. But the real reason I wanted this photo is that it just looks so aesthetic when a dusting of snow puddles inside the letters of a contractor stamp. They’re such wonderful little artifacts in all seasons.

You can also see my boot print on the left, revealing the cleats I have to strap on to avoid wiping out on ice.

This is from the east side of Allen Street between Kalamazoo and Marcus, next to the Neogen building.

Allen St., J. Carter, 1985

I’m surprised I hadn’t noticed this one before. It’s the only J. Carter stamp I have found besides the cluster of them on Michigan Avenue near Sparrow. It’s on the east side of Allen Street between Kalamazoo and Marcus, on the west side of the Neogen building (the former Allen Street School).

There’s a bonus McNeilly stamp in there for you too.
Looking toward Kalamazoo Street. I pass a lot of dog walkers around the neighborhood on my evening walks.
