Main Street looks a little different since the 1930s. This picture comes from the famous Stocks photo collection and shows the old Stocks Photo and Films store as well as Capital Theatre. The Canadian Bank of Commerce building still stands today.

Sometimes it’s nice to look back at a simpler time.
