Guess the Intersection - Winner

The winner in yesterday's Guess the Intersection absolutely nailed it, even identifying the appropriate direction of the corner.  Of course the building is long gone, but look closely at the top of the building in the background in the upper right corner...it's the current day City Hall.  The intersection is the northwest corner of Main and Post as it looked in 1953.

The image above was graciously provided by SilentBahb who just missed having the correct answer a mere 3 minutes after our winner.  There were plenty of good guesses, but a hearty congrats goes out to The Woodruff for knowing Spokane so well.  We'll contact you soon with instructions on getting your official Spokaloo T-shirt.

UPDATE:  So we thought this one would have most of you stumped.  The photo above is looking west down 5th Ave at the intersection of 5th and Fiske [GMAP].  Overall four people guessed correctly, but the first one with the correct answer was Josh Hall.

Josh says:

"On E. 5th, inbetween Fiske and Havanna in the E. Central Neighborhood - I get my hair cut there, at Larry's Barbershop!"

And David Blaine had this tibit of history to add:

"Now a ghost town but there was a time when I lived on 5th and Magnolia and a trip down to Little Taste Of Philly for a cheesesteak and Horesman's store for some cheap beer was the highlight of an evening.  There is also a foreboding, windowless Masonic Temple nearby."

We underestimated just how well you know this city...a mistake we will not repeat!  Thanks to all for playing.
