Yes… and not with people I expected might have a dog with them.
Meanwhile, this shows how fast cars were taking over cities.
In the 20’s there were cars on the street, but not many, and still a few carriages…
In the 30’s, there were scattered cars parallel parked.
But by 1942, in a not large city, they already needed diagonal parking to fit them in… perhaps not as steeply angled and dense as it would become, but that’s still a LOT of cars.
It almost looks staged, to make the city look more modern for a postcard… But I doubt that it is.
…
It’s noticeable that so many are late 30’s and 40’s models.
Not many from the 1920’s or before… Partly because there were so many fewer cars owned in the 20’s, so to have that many in the picture, they had to be more recently bought.
And this is 1942, not long after the depression, and during World War II. Imagine 1948, the zooming postwar economy, and the baby boom.
Found all nine.
Spotted the dog (now find the daring woman in – gasp – slacks).
There is evidence that the citizens of Grand Island Nebraska were, and maybe still are, heavy drinkers; two liquor stores across the street from one another.
North Locust Street still has diagonal parking on its eastern side.
North Locust Street, then and now (the now picture has a fair bit of camera distortion showing / wide angle lens I’m guessing / close-up the building is crisp
Edited in at 10:42 hrs. E.D.T.
I found it odd that nighthawks’ posting had so many buildings most of which you would think should still be there; but aren’t.
The bank building was lucky.
South Locust Street was hit by the fifth, and strongest, of the seven tornados that savaged Grand Island during the evening of Tuesday, June 3, 1980.
The National Weather Service logo is a link to detailed descriptions of all seven.
Side note: Mt. St. Helen’s had erupted on Sunday, May 18.

I think that pirate ship looks like a huge boot with a nail sticking out of the toe.

The Fractured Fairy Tales were one of the best features on Rocky & Bullwinkle. The puns were relentless.
Have Claude, Clara and Cleo stepped into another dimension, or does Cleveland have some really exotic parts I never saw when I lived there?
Cos today’s puzzle is… well… a little creepy… though it doesn’t look really dangerous, with those kinda friendly monsters.
I don’t think I’ll swim out to visit that pirate ship, though.
…
It’s only 6:30 -ish, here in California, and I have to go out for a wee bit.
I don’t want anybody waiting anxiously to find out where all the dangers and differences lie…. so before I leave I will entrust you with the puzzle solution.
Be brave, don’t peek before you step in the water…
You have Cleo to protect you, after all.
Ok, yeah, sorry… NOT the most comforting thought.
You have Clara… is that better?
…
After you’ve investigated, and found all the ways panel two might have gone wrong…. Unless it was panel one… But in any case, they’re different…
This is a good time to remember that clicking on the solution opens it bigger in another window.
If that shows it on a postimage page instead of a browser window, try right clicking it there and choosing “open image in a new tab” (or window). It whatever the command is in your browser.
If you can’t quite see a circled (or “squared”) difference, try looking at the same spot on the original, without the circles…
Now that you know where it is, it might look more obvious without the little border partly obscuring it.
If I make that circle too thin, it’s hard to find on the page; too thick may make whatever’s in it hard to see.
Now I know you’re faking! Filthy house, not nice apartment! You were right about the spiders and the ants, though…

This FTD puzzle seems harder than usual. I’ve only been able to find seven (I think), & consider that a success. I’m sure that the usual suspects will FTD and devour them in jig time.
Want a Rhode Island Red rooster as a pet, or a hen as an egg layer (brown eggs)? You can purchase one from the Murray McMurray hatchery. The logo is the link (short breed history / video of chicks, they’re cute / other, still, pictures too).
Pretty much always overpriced if they’re premade in the store, and definitely always overpriced if bought on any midway anywhere.

(The advisory notes are in the book.)
A delectable main dish for a teen-age supper
8 skinless frankfurters
Flour
1/4 cup white cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon soda (baking soda)
1egg (medium or large)
1/2 cup buttermilk
Fat for frying (part bacon, part lard)
Cocktail sauce, or catsup with prepared mustard, or tartar sauce.
Halve frankfurters crosswise and put wooden skewer in each.
Roll in flour and shake off excess.
Sift 1/2 cup flour and next 3 ingredients into bowl.
Add egg and buttermilk and beat with whisk or slotted spoon to form a smooth thick batter.
Holding skewer, dip frankfurter pieces in batter, coating well.
Drop into hot deep fat (375°F., to 400°F. on a frying thermometer) and fry until golden brown.
Drain on absorbent paper and serve at once with cocktail sauce.
Good with coleslaw, potato chips, sliced tomatoes and dill pickles, with a piece of pie or cake for dessert.
Makes 4 servings.
Well – it’s my husband’s 60th birthday today, and both duck and chicken are part of the planned teppan-meal. We will be only five persons (better safe than sorry), but that small party will include lots of laughter.

can you spot the dog on a leash?
Yes… and not with people I expected might have a dog with them.

Looks like a car show on Main Street. I would be happy to have any one of those buggies.

Puns must never relent!
Resistance is futile.
Ooh-weee-oooo…. dum-da-dum-dum….

i guess it’s a little late for me.. i only found 4 differences, see y’all about 10 o’clock in the morning!
well, i did a little better this morning…..i found 7. what a goofy and fun puzzle this was!
found all nine, correct me if I am wrong, but haven’t we seen this one before?
you aren’t wrong. That stroll along Lake Erie is not easily forgotten
Guess I’ll have to settle for my usual eight…
No way! I’m sure Nighthawks put in that ninth difference after I posted!!
Yeah, it was really hard on me.
I had to redo my solution, upload the new one to postimage, and try to edit my post….
But then I didn’t have internet access….
….
I ended up traveling thousands of miles, sneaking into houses, apartments and mobile homes all across the US and even in Canada and Europe…
Guessing passwords, and painting that little change into the images stored on everybody’s computers and tablets.
By now I have internet, so the image you see here is the new one, containing the new difference.
Wish I’d known for sure that would happen.
…
Nice apartment, btw.
Kinda scary little pets.
Now I know you’re faking! Filthy house, not nice apartment! You were right about the spiders and the ants, though…

Nope; only 8. Too busy.
Wow! I tied Tigressy! (Happy dance…)
I’ll watch anything by Jay Ward.
I found them all!
Whatever you say, Clara.
Found five offhand, not going to lose sleep over the other 4.
Handsome boy!
