A few years ago here in the big, flat city I tried to take the kids sledding in hilly Elmwood Cemetery but the security guard pulled up behind us and gave me the stinkeye so I chickened out. Next time I'm bringing a copy of this picture. 

Photo from the Burton Historical Collection at the University of Michigan, via The Night Train.

Otherwise, urchin photos will be credited to the appropriate photographer with a link to its source (unless they come from my own collection of photographs from unknown photographers).
