Ouellette Avenue – c. 1957

A neat view along Ouellette from the late 1950’s. Looks like it was quite the hoppin’ place.

A neat view here along the edge of the postcard, show a woman getting on the bus. The low rise block with the “Jeweller” sign, was the one that was torched earlier in the year.

Here’s the block today.
