Old Florence

Old pics, most from the Images of America book on Florence, by Brenda Harrison and Jennifer Leach, available in most bookstores in the local interest/travel section. In fact, the piublishing company has them out for cities and towns all over the state and nation.

Some of the dates are wrong--the Five Points pic is much later than 1960--see the Pepsi billboard, same with the Dargan St. shot--that's late '60's--look at the cars. Palmetto Street looked nice in the 1955 pic--that intersection today has been totally ruined by widening, demolition, etc.
