University & Pelissier - c 1928
January 12, 2016
One of my favourite old postcards. I like this one, because despite almost 90 years having passed, this is one of the few old postcards where everything is still the same. The Bartlett, Security & Metropolitan Buildings all in a row. A booming section of downtown and…
