Zoom w a View: London, Ontario - black and white

While visiting a fellow hockey player at his place of business I snapped a photo or two of scenes of downtown London, circa 1950.


[“Bank of Nova Scotia, 422 Richmond St., beside Casino Restaurant”]


[“NW Dundas and Richmond; Quebec and Ridout St. buses”]

I arrived in London in 1968 and rode some of the same old buses, but don’t recall seeing parked cars on both sides of Dundas.


Maybe cars and buses got too big for the streets.

I do recall that a 1968 Chrysler was quite a bit wider - like a houseboat; maybe to accommodate wider rear ends; but that's just a theory - than my 1964 Volkswagen.
