1935: CHAMBERSBURG: SOUTH BROAD AT DIVISION STREET

No comment except for the beautiful high definition photo that shows a section of Chambersburg as it looked over 75 years ago. TO ENLARGE THIS BEAUTIFUL PHOTO: Right click on the photo, click on OPEN LINK IN A NEW WINDOW, and you will be standing on South Broad Street near Division viewing the minutest details of the neighborhood.

That panel truck - double parking, going the wrong way? This just cannot happen in the Burg! The third floor of the buiding with the advertisement has been removed during the intervening years. Broad Street was always so very busy with traffic. It made for a good retail district. Totally different these days with all the progress we've made with new highways. Don't I wish I had that Deuce Coupe, with a 327, 350 horse engine. ;-) Paint it red, please.

Wasn't the Bijou theatre near this corner. I was thinking it was near the building that says cutrate.
