Main Street In Black and White 1959

From an unusual collection of black and white slides from 1959 is this set of images of Main Street in 1959. First up is a shot of the Horse Drawn Fire Wagon.

Next up are two shots of Vesey Walker leading the Disneyland band on Main Street. The Emporium in the background is very nice.

The flag raising concert in Town Square as seen from a Horse Drawn Surrey. Check out the fashion choices.

    LOL Yeah, I spotted Mr. White Sox, but I still prefer gauche 50's style to what we got today.

    We have time travelers from the 21st century in photo three! The trio walking past the Emporium toward the Fire House – they're fat, they're wearing shorts at Dland! They're looking forward to Fantasmic!
