175. Avenida de Mayo
Avenida de Mayo
Description
The Avenida de Mayo, whose broad, beautifully paved roadway runs through the very heart of Buenos Aires, from the Plaza de Mayo near the harbor front, to the Plaza del Congreso upon which the Palace of Congress stands, is among the finest boulevards in the world. It may be classed with the Champs Elysees in Paris, the Ring in Vienna, and other thoroughfares of note. Trees line both sides of the street, which is brilliantly illuminated by electric lamps on pillars in the center, and also by side lights. Its handsome buildings are given over chiefly to stores, hotels, and cafes, many of which have service on small tables on the sidewalks, as well as within, adding greatly to the charm of the boulevard. Beneath the surface a splendidly equipped electric subway relieves the congestion and affords rapid transit.

Description
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "Tasmania, together with the five states of Australia, forms what is called the Commonwealth of Australia. It is a heart-shaped island, with its top less than two hundred miles from Australia and its point toward the Pole. It is considered as the Switzerland of the southern Pacific, and one of the most healthful and beautiful lands of the globe. Hobart, the capital and largest city on the island, is twenty-five hundred miles below the Equator, with nothing by ocean between it and the frozen lands of the Antarctic. It lies on a fine harbor in a nest of hills on the banks of the Derwent and has beautiful Mount Wellington for a background."
177. Columbus Circle
Columbus Circle
Description
Going on up Broadway to 59th Street we come to Columbus Circle, also one of the famous spots in the City, which marks the intersection of Eighth Avenue, Broadway and 59th Street, one of the busiest corners in the City. One entrance to Central Park is here. Maine monument at the entrance to the Park and Columbus monument at the intersection of the streets may both be seen. This section is known as Automobile Row. U.S. Tire Building, built in conformity with the new building code regulations, and the Fisk Tire Building are at the left in the picture. A large Negro section is to the right. The Circle is a wonderfully beautiful sight on a winter's night, with snow swirling and the lights shining through. Broadway loses much of its glory from this point northward and becomes a district of small retail shops of every sort with restaurants and all kinds of eating places interspersed. We shall leave Broadway for a time to go down and pick up some things of interest before going to the upper end of the City.
