Throwback Thursday

Don’t you love these old back-in-the-day photos from the 1970s? Who knows what this building was and what was Jordan’s Market? Do you know what happened to it?

Many of you were quite correct in guessing that last week’s Throwback Thursday photo was indeed, Doug and Ray's Garage at the corner of High and Race streets. And gas was only $1.15 when this photo was taken. Our own Lynda Clancy remembers: “That's just how it looked when I used to fill up the old Oldsmobile I bought from Mikey Eugley, 1988. A little rear-wheel sliding on the snow-greased road back down to the Beach every day. And those guys pumped the gas for us!”  Last week’s photo was courtesy of Belfast Historical Society and Museum.
