EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this view of Broadway in Mattoon, Illinois, USA, captured in 1927. The black-and-white photograph showcases a bustling main street, filled with a sense of energy and excitement that defines the Roaring Twenties. The wide, paved road stretches out before us, lined with buildings that exude a timeless charm. The grand, multi-story hotel at the center of the frame, with its intricate architectural details and elegant facade, stands as a testament to the era's opulence and sophistication. Parked cars line the street, their shiny surfaces reflecting the light of the neon signs that illuminate the night. The signs, with their bold, colorful letters, beckon passersby to the various businesses and establishments that call Broadway home. A billiards hall and a tramline add to the scene's vibrant atmosphere, inviting visitors to take a step inside and experience the unique charm of this bygone era. The sense of community and connection is palpable, as people go about their daily lives, oblivious to the passage of time. Mattoon, a city in Coles County, Illinois, was once a thriving hub of activity, and this photograph offers a glimpse into its rich history. The buildings, cars, and signs may have changed over the decades, but the spirit of Broadway remains, a testament to the enduring allure of small-town America in the 1920s.
