Exploring Photos: Queen Street in the 1950s 
Exploring Photos: Queen Street in the 1950s. SUPPLIED

This postcard features the west side of Queen Street. The Apothecary is on the corner with a classic Coca-Cola sign. Note, instead of the beautiful flowerbeds we have today, there is a white concrete dome in the middle of the street, often called a ‘dumb policeman” or a “silent cop.” These markers were placed in the middle of the intersection to direct turning drivers toward the right of the road. Young children in town would often leapfrog over it whenever they crossed the street.
