Metropolis Shows how Windsor Chamber Used to Sell

An interesting snapshot of how our city showed in the 1950's. Also take a look at the postcard featuring Ouellette Avenue from the same era. Note the diversity of business. Cool places to hang out at that time were Biff's Coffee Shop and Kresge's Lunch Counter. Some department stores were Smiths, Adelmans, Kresge's, and Zellers. Downtown was always packed with pedestrians. So were Wyandotte and Ottawa streets. It was a pleasure to take the bus from one to the other.
