One of my favorite historic photos of Huntsville, Alabama: baseball players posing in front of one of the city's street cars. Unsure of the exact date, but the electric street cars were 1900-1931.

Fun fact, the guy who started the "Huntsville Times" once bought a wooden house at the Five Points intersection and then built a stone "castle" around it. It was torn down in the fifties, and now two gas stations and a chicken restaurant sit on that site.

Fun fact: the Huntsville in Texas was actually named after the Huntsville, Alabama. The Texas one was founded by two guys named Ephraim and Pleasant Gray, and they named their new settlement after their Alabama hometown, Huntsville.
