95. Trust me, these would not have been

Elm trees. It's the cottonwoods that were all along the Rillito River on the north side of the city, and the Santa Cruz on the southern side. Plus the native flora is much denser on the land that has never been developed in all those years. Aside from the fact that I know from other sources that the water table has dropped by tens, maybe hundreds of feet over time, it's clear from the photographs.

Actually, I love looking at photos of particular places taken years apart. I have another similar book about Washington DC, only those photos are sometimes separated by over 100 years.
