Downtown Johnstown - Main and Franklin


This picture of Main Street just invites you  in - so much going on - that you don't know where to look first. You can almost hear the honking horns and the thousands of people walking on the sidewalks talking...and I would bet it smells too-  considering horses were still used to haul and the mills were going full tilt. Central Park is to the left with Franklin Street across the middle. What I wouldn't give to just have a couple of hours walking thru the streets then - instead I have to be satisfied with taking these trips in my mind.

  3. Two way traffic was allowed well into the 1960's.
