Not only do we have a great look at the later 40s and 1950s automobiles along this thorofare... this photo also shows fine examples of 1950s electric distribution with early GE mercury vapor streetlights also along the pole line. In addition, we enjoy a nostalgic look back at a familiar Texaco gasoline station sign and a Woolworth's storefront that many of us recall from our younger days.
