Pacific Street, west from Franklin Avenue, passing underneath the BMT "El," 1941.

Though the BMT elevated infrastructure (seen in the distance) remains, a number of other details in this photograph are streetscapes one would never see in Brooklyn today. Long gone are the street level trolley tracks and since 1999 cigarette billboards have been banned.
