MAINSTREET, NORTH BAY 1974

 

Now this is a trip back in time. This morning I came across some old negatives I took in the seventies. Quite a trip through memory lane.  Downtown  North Bay had three movie theatres, Mainstreet was the primary shopping centre until the new malls opened. That was the end of a lively downtown. Of course there are still some great stores on Mainstreet but it is a far cry from the busy shopping crowds you would see on Saturdays in the seventies when we just arrived in the city.

Can't beat those old movie theatres, Mike. Spacious interiors, plenty of seating room, popcorn, candy machines.... They were my second home.
Lots of mood in your street scene.

"Muntz" car stereos, wow that is a time warp for sure.
Always nice to look at old photos and seeing names from the past
and wondering whatever happened to them.

Reminds me of a William Klein NYC b/w photo from his famous book of decades back.
