circa 1923 - This is Quartier du Petit Champlain (Little Champlain Street) in Québec City, Québec, Canada. It is the oldest commercial district in North America, mainly a tourist attraction for shopping, dining and entertainment.  The "Breakneck Stairs" were built in 1635 and have been reconstructed and renovated over time.
