Wyandotte and Ouellette – c. 1965

A neat view of Ouellette Avenue looking north towards Wyandotte street, from about the mid 1960’s.

This corner is my favourite part of the card. The Johnson & McWhinnie designed Bank of Montreal Building, that was sadly reclad in the mid 1990’s, but beyond that, I love the wall of neon signs. It looks then, like a much bigger city than it is today.
