Hawkins Ave.,Lk. Ronkonkoma 1961

This looks more like a late
50s photo, than it does 1961.
I know my cars, and I can also
tell by the lack of stores.

Right because late fifties....is so FAR removed from 1961?

You're likely to see the same style of cars in a photo from 1957 as you are in 1961.

Seriously If I showed you a photo of Hawkins from 2004 and 2009 you'd be able to tell the difference by the cars?

Yes, I would. The cars are only one hint. I was
alive then. Where is Bohack's?
If this is 61 there would be
a Bohack right aboout where that car is.

No you wouldn't. there is not a significant enough change in model design in 5 years time to tell the difference. I could post a picture of the front of my home from 2005 and 2009 with my cars in the driveway and I know for a fact that you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

There was a Bohack's on the corner of Hawkins and Division Road? Because that's the view in the picture.

The shot is taken from the corner of Division and Hawkins looking north to Portion. The dry cleaner sign on the right is where Slater Drugs is today.

Where the car you're talking about is, there is a professional building with Sachem Eye care and right next to the photographer, on the left, today stands a Dairy Barn
