Have you ever seen a photograph so real you feel as if you can step right into it? When Christine Lesiak saw a photo on the wall of a restaurant, taken on a rainy day in Lincoln in 1931, she wondered if she could use it to travel into the past – just as Christopher Reeves did in the movie Time and Again. She meets architect Bob Ripley on that same corner exactly 94 years later to see what has changed over time. Does their attempt to time travel work?
Photo taken May 31st at the corner of 13th and O Street in downtown Lincoln.
