Welland Main Street, 1954

Thanks to our good friends over at Google Image Search I've just stumbled across this amazing window into the past. This photograph of Main St. in Welland, circa 1954, shows the community when it was a live and bustling place. The lights of the movie house really harken back to a brighter time for the downtown streets of Niagara's urban areas.
