Monroe Ave. decked out for Xmas, Late December 1964


Beautiful. Random observations... Division was a one-way. Monroe Ave was a street before they converted it to a walkway and then back to a street. Those giant, red glowing signs on top of buildings! The Pantiland Hotel down at the end, which the Amway Grand Plaza would later be added onto. There's Herpolsheimer's, later to be City Centre/Mackie's World/Police station.

  1. You can’t even imagine. Downtown G.R. was a pageant of brick buildings, brick streets, neon, warm friendly people, summer nights, winter days. All a canyon of giant corporate monoliths now.
