Last week we shared this photo with you:
It’s from March 27, 1985 during Maple Fest. John Snow, Brian Dell, Scott Somerset and Carrie Holloway are taking part in the VK Greer Maple Syrup Program. (Photo: Muskoka Heritage Place Collection)
A wonderful photo. Looks like my mother Edna attempting to push the baby buggy up the sidewalk. In those days, 1943, everything you needed to buy was on the Main Street, so your walked there. Remember going shopping with mom as a pre-schooler and it took for ever. Everyone wanted to chat with her. My father Wally was the A&P store manager in 1940.
Nice snow banks! Nobody should complain today!
Looking down the main street toward the bridge. I remember the A&P to be up the hill a bit (it would have been behind this photographer) and on the opposite side to where it is in this picture but I guess it moved.
Tremblay shoe and harness repair I remember too. It moved to the left side of the road as you head up Brunel Road I think. That was back in the day before Adidas had been invented. Shoes where heavy, made with real leather and one actually got them “fixed” if part of them wore out or broke. What a concept!
Yes, taken from corner of King and Main during WW2. Hint, Lend For Freedom!
Shell station to become Fina and United Cigar Store to become McCaffreys Smoke and Gift Shop. Check the lack of development across the bridge up Church Street hill!
This week’s photo was taken from the now Main St Local corner looking toward the Brunel intersection.
