1955
Salina, Kansas. This is on Santa Fe Avenue looking north. The bank clock is visible at the Iron Street corner. Across the street are those old shops: Gibbs, Epps Bootery, Seitz, Linck Pharmacy. The quartet headed toward us are in the latest fashion for the year.
There were no shopping centers, no Wallyworld. When you shopped you strolled the downtown sidewalks.
This was scanned from an old 35mm negative.
I worked in a camera shop (just to the right) and I often tried out new cameras when they came in. I would load a roll of film and step out the front door and capture what ever was on the street at the time.
The picture is in use at IFB!
