Last week we shared this photo with you:<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

Here’s what Doppler readers had to say about it:<\/p>\n

Dave Johns: Year taken would be sometime before 1967 as we can see the Texaco sign is still up at Pioneer Garage on West st south. It closed in 67.<\/p>\n

Martin Ross: It was better in every way then, I know that much.<\/p>\n

AnneMarie Switzer: Early sixties… no Brewers retail, Bendale Square, no CIBC, no Algonquin Theatre, cars\/buses have 1960 or earlier all over them…<\/p>\n

Roger Simmons: The Kent Hotel is shown in this picture. It burrned down around the time the Dominion became the Empire in 1948, but I can’t remember the date now.<\/p>\n

Vern Vince: Blackburn marine on the left of bridge the hospital on the right past the trees Esso just across the bridge and NO Tims across the street and the Pontiac car dealer up the street and C T C across the way and the diary behind the car dealership. Early 60s and Eaton’s and the dominion grocery store are across from the Hudson Bay store.<\/p>\n

Derek Dobbs: Great picture! My guess is 1956-59.
\nI had no idea the Empire hotel was that big.<\/p>\n

Other guesses on the date of this postcard ranged from 1960 to 1982.<\/p>\n

Well we don’t have the exact date of this photo, we guessed early ’60s as well. Thanks for your comments, everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
