Notes
You'll probably recognize this spot as Hood River's downtown skiing/ snowboarding hill whenever we get a good snowstorm. It doesn't look like the neighborhood has changed much in 100 years.

Great comparison, I really like before and after photos and the chance to note the changes.

Very cool. Used to live in this neighborhood and I still take pictures of this view every Spring. Watch for my 2015 picture in the HRN's Panorama Special in April. Pretty sure Kirby has selected it for Favorite Pictures of the Year.

Wish I could move the old photo around like I can the Google Earth one.

Well, here we are on Catholic Hill. Back in my childhood days, I used to walk up this hill and turn at this corner to go to Park Street School.

Lived at 7th & June as a child, spent every winter sledding down this hill, big ditch on the east side & unpaved in the 50's & 60's. Walked my Mom Downtown on the deeply grooved sidewalk as she didn't drive.

Sledding on "Catholic Hill" was always a challenge when you got to Sherman Ave.
