This was Main Street Ada - 1953
Check out that beautiful new Buick parked on the left side of this 1953 Ada Main Street photo.
Looking north from the Pennsylvania Railroad track (double tracks at the time) there's morelots to see.
There's a Pure gas station, Harry Tousley Insurance (with a clock on Main Street), J.M. Mertz Hardware, a soda fountain, and yes, that's the steeple of the Methodist Church (not yet United Methodist).
Don't missing the charming lights along Main Street. What else do you see? Send your observations to: [email protected].
