My city, Back in Time

[AriK]

Passing some time in the doldrums of winter-
 Here are some vintage images of old cars, trucks and traffic taken in my area.  Unfortunately no Fiats, mostly American steel.   Lots of changes since then, for one, French only signage is permitted, bilingual is no longer part of the landscape.  
  Each image is worth a thousand words. 
  Btw, not my photos, courtesy of the city's archive library.

EDIT:
PLEASE: Do not repeat our city's name in print. There's no need for googlebots to be directing traffic to this site. Thx.

Great pics! I love this city, but haven't been up there in a few years. Many fond memories. What event does the pic of the soldiers relate to? Mid 60's unrest?

No need to feel old Dan, the images are only half a century old. What you feel is nothing a few brews can't fix. I'm ready now, my season's done.

Oh yes! I remember this now! Terrible tragedy. I remember it getting some press here, but probably not enough. Thought at first that this was the initial response when Pierre discovered that Mick and the boys were partying with his wife.
