I finally remembered to go see the "A Stroll Down Main Street" exhibit at Bergen Arnold Community Constable College at Main and Passaic. I asked a security guard how long it would be up for and he said it's coming down some time this week, so if you haven't seen it, don't waste time like I did.
I took some shots with my cell - mostly of images that I hadn't seen before or never owned. There were a couple of reflection/glare problems, but overall they came out semi-decent.
1. How long did I wait before going there? Apparently, it opened on April 15.
2. While most of the exhibit is inside, some of the items are in the outside display windows. I found the Holy Grail 1876 Bergen County Atlas and its perfect counterpart sign on the Passaic St side (along with some unsightly window reflections):
3. This photo wasn't labeled and I have no idea where it was, but I'm sure Mr. Editor does:
4. How cool would it be to see this structure on Anderson St today?
5. The Bijou was located at 150 Main St. I found something online that's about 25-35 years old that says "Today, the site is Lowit's parking lot".
6. I've NEVER seen this before:
7. Someone who used to go here mentioned this place to me last week and I wasn't aware of it. You can tell we grew up on opposite sides of the river. This was located just north of Johnson Park.
8. The old Five & Dime:
9. I'm not sure what year this is from, but it appears to show less information than the 1896 map:
10. Can't ignore any grouping that Jimi's in:
11. I'm finishing up with one of my childhood memories. I could see Santa's sleigh and reindeer strung between the two Packard's towers from my street in Teaneck - a mile away (I had to angle the shot because of glare).
