Welcome to Wayback Wednesday sponsored by Cavalcade Color Lab! Every week, we’ll be sharing a vintage photo and asking our readers to chime in with anything you can recall about the photo, other related memories, or even a funny caption. Have some vintage photos of your own? Send them to huntsville@doppleronline.ca and we may share them with our readers!<\/p>\n

How about what’s in that location now or what’s now in the marsh across the road? Bonus points if you can name where the vantage point might have been.
