On Main Street, January 1974

We're out and about on Main Street U.S.A. today!


The Fire Truck looks swell parked in front of City Hall (there's the Fire Station in the background). If your dog house is on fire, this little truck is just the thing to put it out! Anything larger than that, and you are out of luck. Only one fireman can ride on that thing too, so I hope you don't need a big crew.


Kids love Goofy! He is holding court in front of what I believe is the "Mad Hatter" shop (those could be hats in there, couldn't they?). Ernie from "My Three Sons" is trying to work up the courage to go up to the great man (or dog or whatever he is).

Yep. That's the Mad Hatter for sure.

You gotta grok those groovy citrus colors from the 70's. Dig on Goofy's threads man.

Yes, children, we really talked like that.

The firetruck has not changed at all, well, I think its cleaner now. Goofy looks like he part of the mod-squad!

OK, but where's Peggy Lipton?

Katella, I don't ever recall actually hearing somebody say "grok" except as a joke!

VDT, doesn't Goofy wear the same crazy colors today?

Anonymous, she is still working at the diner in Twin Peaks.

OK, so you've kinda answered a question I've had for ages....WHEN did they add the additional store space to the Emporium? From the first photo, you can clearly see that area had not been opened up yet in 1974 so it must have been in the early 80's.

Connie, I think it was even later than that... like late 80s or early 90s.
