What Is This Blue Stuff?



Some of the negatives in my collection, most notably those from the 1940's, have weird blue specks on them. What is this blue stuff? Is there any way to get rid of it?

Where Is/Was This?



Does anyone know where this is/was? I have been told Cleveland, Ohio but was wondering if anyone had any specifics about this unique structure.

Thanks to the several people who have identified the building as the Amphitheatre at the Toledo Zoo in Toledo, Ohio. The Amphitheatre was built in the 1930’s as a WPA project and still stands today. If you would like to see what the amhpitheatre looks like currently, please click here.
