About this postcard

View down Moody Street in Waltham, Massachusetts, with automobiles parked along both curbs and trolley tracks running down the center of the road. Storefronts with awnings line the sidewalks, a flag hangs from a building on the left, and a "Waldorf" sign is visible on the right. A few pedestrians move along the sidewalks. Waltham was a manufacturing city known for watchmaking, and Moody Street served as its main shopping and transit street. The mix of parked cars and trolley tracks shows a downtown street shared by motor traffic and street railways in the early 1930s.
