Vintage Christmas - Street Decorations

1924

It's fun to see streets change through time.  I thought I'd take a look at how Christmas decorations changed on one street through time.  These photographs are of Nicollet Avenue in nearby Minneapolis.  I wish these kinds of decorations were still put up.  My favorite photo has to be 1937.  The sunburst star is quite striking.  What a glorious drive it must have been!

  1. I loved how they used to drape the lights across the street. I can remember our town did it long ago. I wish they still did.
