A walk down Main Street 44 springs ago
CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE
Boy, did Bluffton think those street lights were fantastic - in 1970. Here's Bluffton's main throughfare in early evening 44 springs ago.
Here's a couple things to point out, in addition to the street lights that resembled flying saucers:
• Skelly's Pharmacy in what is now Curling Iron
• Notice the buildings north of Skelly's - not standing today
• Further north on Main is a "Buick" sign for Clark's Buick, now Tommy Tire
• The building on the far right has no mural
• Aren't the trash containers attractive?
Icon viewer observations are welcome.
