In today’s shot, we are looking north towards the Detroit River along Ouellette Avenue in the mid 1920s. Chatham Street is behind us, Pitt Street is the next intersection. The old Post Office is to the left.
It’s amazing how much has changed in this city in less than a century.
The core of the city has lost it’s fabric & continuity. It’s a mess now in my opinion, no wonder retail can’t survive anymore.
Where’s the grid of overhead wires for the electric trams? This was mid-Prohibition era Windsor. Wonder if any of those cars were heading for drop-offs at the river on the way to American bootleggers?
