         This is an in-process and evolving website currently focused on the past and present of the “E 500s” face-block of E Street (the area between 5th and 6th streets) in Davis, California.

         The section labeled “1,” just below, addresses aspects of the history of this face-block.

         Sections 2 and 3 photographically document some of the alarmingly frequent auto and bike crashes at the intersection of E and 5th.

          I have taken these spates of crash photos in response to hearing, in my home at 523 E, screeching brakes terminating with a  loud “THUD.” These sounds have been so common that I (and my neighbors) have often not bothered to go to the corner and look. So, this is only a portion of the crashes I heard and could have photographed at E and 5th.*
