This is an exhibit of photographs taken nearly 35 years ago by the twins David and Peter Turnley of a four-block stretch of McClellan Street in Fort Wayne, Indiana. McClellan Street is now a parking lot, but back when Peter and David took these images, it was a working-class neighborhood of men, women and children coming to grips with life's reality and with their life ahead.
