Cow Neck View of the Month

GDS_0014a


This view of lower Main Street hasn't changed a tremendous amount in the past 100 years.  If you were standing in front of Shields Hardware today, looking down the street it would look pretty much like it does in this famous postcard.  The building on the right with the 4 dormered windows on the second floor was Morgan's Meat Market in the early 1900's.  The roofline of the building just downhill from this buidling is still a busy place, Shish Kebob!  Note the hand-written date in the sky, and see if you think it reads "Oct 7 / 09" or "Oct 21 09".  Email us your thoughts!
