You can see the address at 6014 Atlantic Ave in the uncropped version.
The position of the cars are different, so it was taken from the same tripod position but a different negative.
I drive by there often, but it looks a little different today.

A lot of the cool old photos that Glenn posts with blurbs like this, I believe, come from Facebook. I often see the same photos and blurbs that he posts within a couple/few daysą of him posting the photos. A lot of the photos are verifiable (if there of famous people or places, but I do occasionally see photos that seem a little unbelievable. I figure that they are probably usually real photos (not AI generated) but potentially with erroneous blurbs either to make them seem more interesting or just because the person didn't know or made something up or was quoting someone else that was wrong.
