One half century minus one year on Main Street
It's May 10, 1966. Dick Boehr is taking photos of Main Street businesses. He aims his camera at four businesses on North Main Street.
The first is Steiner and Huser (men's clothing). The second is Balmer's (ladies and children's clothing).
Here's the tough part. What are the next two businesses? One is a small storefront and, no, we can't identify it. The next (most recently Forever in Stitches) is also on the "we can't identify" list. We have some theories, but our confidence in Icon viewers is such that these two businesses will be identified soon.
Yes, that's a Cadillac, in front of a Ford Falcon?
There's lots more tho this photo and we welcome viewers comments.
