Throwback Thursday

 Now, I know it’s not easy to see a photo of a beach and try to guess where in the heck would this be in Midcoast, but I’m betting this will be very familiar to some of you. Can you guess what year?

Last week’s Throwback Thursday photo came from the Belfast Historical Society and Museum and featured a boy riding a flatbed truck full of furniture, which is the way families moved their belongings. Well, reader Gail Berry was the first to guess this photo’s origins correctly when she said, “This is Belfast, 1940s-1950s, on Main Street, lower left side where the Green Store is now. My father had a wood truck like this but older. I may be wrong, but my maiden name is Hatch and I remember my father saying he had a relative in Belfast who had a store on Main Street at that time.”
