Vicksburg, Mississippi, had so much interesting photographic material. I am glad I explored when Kodak's famous Kodachrome film was still available and could be processed by laboratories equipped to handle the special chemicals and techniques. I used Kodachrome until near its final end in the early 2000s. It is gone forever and will not be revived, despite the requests from old-timers. Here are some samples from the 1990s.

I looked into the former depot (now housing the Old Depot Museum) and saw some youngsters. They said they rented an apartment on the second floor. They generously let me take some photographs from their balcony.

| Lower Grove Street |
 |
| Discount Barn, Levee Street |
 |
| Former McKay Motors on Washington Street (150mm ƒ/4 Super-Takumar lens) |

| Cottages, 505 and 507 Fairground Street (200mm ƒ/4 Leitz Telyt-V lens) |

This ends a short look back in time. I have hundreds of more Kodachrome slides of Vicksburg. Will I ever have time to scan them?
