Nathan's Department Store

You are looking at the inside of Nathan's Department Store on Main Street. It later became Jupiter's and that's how I remember it. The creaky wooden floors and the strange odor the whole place had. But as a kid - I found the place fascinating.

The Main Sign

From 1972 - work crews taking down the very large signs that used to line the streets of Johnstown. This is at the corner of Main and Bedford. The city changed the law on how big signs could be and how high and far they could stick out from a business.

Signs of the Times

Another VJ repeat because I like this picture: This is the old Power Gas and & Oil Station at the corner of Broad Street and Fairfield Avenue. This building and another gas station that used to occupy the site are long gone. Present day Giant Eagle (Dirty Bird) is located where you can just see the top of the roof behind the station.
