Thanks, Goldie. This the other great VE Day pic I love: dancing what seems to be a hora at King and Bay:

1964 looks so old. Being born that year I guess means I'm also old

My ex was one year older than I, so my guess is that is the reason I look for one within the sixty- eight - seventy age bracket.

Am I to suppose they accommodated all of the boaters' auto parking in the same manner that was done for their number of boats?

That looks like an aerial view of Grant Park (i.e., not residential) in Chicago, either taken before a regatta or else it's an artist's impression by an artist who went a little crazy with adding boats. In reality there's a marina just past the bend in the road in the upper right corner with probably 150-200 berths.
