Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread

Oh yeah, look at the brick street, it's been removed! There is a little section of it left probably as a "memory" of the old street. Crap I hate seeing those changes! It happens so much. I know right here in my city just blocks from my house is the old movie theater and stuff on what was called "main street" has changed so much. My parents had a restaurant after the war right there by the theater. My sister tells stories of being 5 year old and crossing main street to go to a store to buy candy. Well, that store, along with the whole block is being torn down to put in a 3 - 5 story apartment building! When I was a kid the Honda Shop was there that I bought parts for my C-110 50. The old firehouse is there where I remember fire trucks coming out of with the firemen standing on the rear of the truck (remember that?) all that will be gone! I pass them on the sidewalk on my evening walk over the last number of years, all of it will be gone.
