Main Street, August 1969
Here's a pair of good Main Street views from 1969. Starting with this view looking into West Center Street, where the Flower Market used to be. It makes sense that the Carnation truck would want to be near the flowers, Walt thought of everything. It's fun to look at the people, such as the little girl riding on the back of her brother's stroller, the kids in the Carnation truck (and the other kids, perhaps waiting for their turn), and even the lady with the green shorts holding a souvenir wall map.
And here's a very nice look down Main Street on a busy (but not too busy) August day. The clock tells us that it is 2:30. It sure looks like a lot of people are already heading toward the exit! Hey, there's still plenty of time to visit the attractions that we want to do. In fact, a dedicated guest could probably hit every attraction (I think) before the park closed at 1:00 AM. The lady in the tree shadow to the right appears to be pursuing her complimentary INA guidebook.

Major-
These images are lovely views. Definitely makes me wish I could walk into either one of them and just 'nose around'-!
Thanks, Major.
The flowers on the sunny side of the street look especially colorful. The blue-shirt boy sitting in the Carnation truck looks like Ernie from "My Three Sons" (but with blond hair). Interesting jacket/shirt the guy on the left has on; African print in earth-tone hues.
Ooh, nicely lit! The Omnibus in particular, looks bright, crisp, and colorful. Not sure if the lady on the right is "pursuing" her INA guidebook, but she probably IS perusing it. ;-) And what is that post-shaped thingy on the left? It looks like a giant white asparagus spear. When I first glanced at it, I thought it was one of the white, horsehead-shaped horse tie-er-uppers. But then I did a double-take.
Things, these two pics have in common: Main Street, brightly lit, and colorful. A good combination! Thanks, Major.
@ JB-
"And what is that post-shaped thingy on the left? It looks like a giant white asparagus spear".
I was thinking the same thing, but suspect it's another post-style to 'tether one's horse'. Experts, please weigh-in. In the meantime... LOOK HERE for a better view.
