With magic of Google maps, street view, you can see for yourself!  Sadly, nothing to see here, just some modern buildings....across from Vernon Park, which is also near the new convention center I believe.

I'll bet that pink building with the angled corner entrance was it. The one with the "Bb" over the doorway. Architecturaly, it looks to have a veneer of pink stone applied over the years as the Peoples Drugstore chain used to like to have their stores with two streets view of their store windows. Take a road trip and check it out :twisted: :twisted: 
 
Wonderful picture, Mon. :D

Desktop background material, right there.

Agreed, great photo. Just think what you could do with that time machine and a few worn silver dollars!

Can you imagine a drugstore chain doing marketing for tobacco stuff like this today

Or a cashier at Walgreens or CVS wearing a smart three-piece suit, like the gents behind the counter here.
 
Mon. not sure what kind of equipment you have but 620 film can be readily made by rolling 120 onto a 620 spool. You do need to do it in a darkroom or a film bag though!

Keep coming back to look at this pic. Seems I see something new each time too.

Would've loved to have been there back in the day.

Much simpler time. I could live with that!

I have a rather extensive on-board gallery of photos like this now just because Brothers keep posting them. I actually look forward to my "screen saver" kicking in and rotating through them on the computer. :heart:
