Archive Week.....Downtown 1918

Thanks everyone for the well wishes everyone. Still dealing with the cold but I will get better. Today's photo takes us back to the year 1918 and a look at the Main Street in our downtown. This is Jasper Avenue and although the buildings have changed it is still as busy as ever
