Canal Street, 1950's |
By today's standards, these Canal Street decorations aren't much to write home about. The interesting scenes are in the background. Many of the stores pictured in these photos are no longer there - gone to suburban malls or gone altogether. But, thanks to these images, we can still take a holiday stroll on 1950's Canal Street. -- Nancy |
